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.

Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller has a huge ten round fight against Gerald Washington on Saturday. The Brooklyn native’s match is an undercard to Mikey Garcia and Adrien Broner’s bout at Barclays Center.

‘Big Baby’ is excited to see it. In an interview on the Get Fit Radio Podcast and webseries, Big Baby Miller weighed in on August’s big fight. “I mean, to beat Floyd he is gonna need a gun,” Jarell ‘Big Baby’ Miller told Get Fit Radio’s host Eric Salvary on McGregor.

The conversation began at the 3:00 mark

“I mean there’s nothing he can do to beat Floyd at this point. I’m not sure he has a legit boxing coach, but he would have to get with a legit boxing coach. It would take years to get those fundamentals down. He does have natural ability on some movement and pretty decent hand eye coordination, so he’ll definitely pick up a lot of fights. I mean, he is a fighter, but to stick with boxing, he would have to focus on boxing and get an enthusiastic coach that knows what he’s doing.”
