American Jarrell Miller has discussed ongoing negotiations with British fighter Derek Chisora. According to Miller, the bout could take place in the UK.
“We’re currently talking about the biggest fight – with Chisora. It’s not confirmed yet, and no agreement has been signed. But discussions are definitely happening. The venue is not clear yet, but it could be Manchester in January.
I think it’s a great fight. I don’t think it will be easy, but I believe I can win. I have to go in there and beat my boy.
It’s funny – I would say that as you get older in boxing, your fellow boxers become buddies. Eventually, it’s hard to avoid everyone at the top, even if you like them – some of us will have to fight each other. I have a certain level of respect for Chisora. I like him, just like I like Andy Ruiz, so I hope I can battle with him,” said Miller.
Miller has not won since spring 2023, first losing to Daniel Dubois and then drawing with Andy Ruiz. Derek Chisora won his last fight against Joe Joyce, which took place at the O2 Arena. According to the fighter himself, Derek's next bout will take place in Manchester.
