Boxer, Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller is a beast!

The #2 ranked contender for the world heavyweight title and holds a 19-0 record. Belizean-born and Brooklyn, NY bred, Miller’s buzz is growing after knocking out two rival contenders last year. What’s cool about him is his unique journey even before rising up the boxing ranks.

Miller’s career began when he took up Muay Thai at the age of 14 and boxing at the age of 16.

Miller is also an accomplished kickboxer, boasting a 21-2 record.

In the kickboxing world, he’s lauded for beating K-1 veteran Pat Barry at the WCL Eastern & Western Conference Finals in 2008.

Get this: he competed in Croatia! When some think of Croatia, retired Chicago Bulls NBA champion Toni Kukoc, a native of Croatia easily comes to mind.

So what’s Croatia like, Big Baby?

“Zagreb is the capital of Croatia,but it’s like the hood.” Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller told me while appearing on Scoop B Radio.

“There’s graffiti and abandoned buildings, but Croatia is near the water so the front of it is beautiful. People vacation there all the time, but where we were was like the hood. It was fun though. I got a lot of love out there in Croatia, I fought Mirko Cro Cop and they jerked me after whipping his butt in his hometown, but it was kickboxing and it was a learning experience.”

Big Baby is on the come-up.

According to Boxing347.com’s James Slater, the undefeated fighter will face Trevor Bryan most likely on April 28, in a fight that could be a WBA and IBF eliminator fight.

Miller will also target the winner of Anthony Joshua’s unification clash with Joseph Parker on March 31.
