The 6-foot-4, 285-pound undefeated Miller (18-0-1, 16 Нокаута) will meet dangerous heavyweight contender and former college football player, Вашингтон (18-1-1, 12 Нокаута) in a 10-round showdown on Събота, Юли 29. Highlights of Miller vs. Washington will air on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. И/6 p.m. PT), part of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader headlined by Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia.
Jarrell Miller is promoted by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Big Baby Promotions.
The confident and hard-hitting Miller has knocked out seven consecutive opponents since his pro debut in 2009. Following a voluntary layoff due to contractual disputes, the 28-year-old former professional kickboxer will take a step up in opposition when he faces Washington, a U.S. Navy veteran who challenged heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder earlier this year in a hard-fought bout.
“The day has been set and it can’t come soon enough,” said Miller. “Fighting is my life and being able to make my debut at Barclays Center is beyond monumental. This will be a night to remember for me, my family and for the fans.”
“Jarrell Miller is the heir to the heavyweight championship throne,“, каза Дмитрий Салита, Президент на Salita Promotions. “Like the great American heavyweights from Brooklyn, Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe, Jarrell has the skills and charisma to be the face of the heavyweight division. Following in their footsteps I believe he is the next boxing superstar from the world famous borough.”
Класиран №. 5 от WBO и не по-. 7 by the WBA and IBF, Miller earned three stoppage victories in 2016, including a third-round TKO over veteran Fred Kassi in his 2016 headlining fight on ShoBox: Новото поколение, където е кацнал 57 процента на Неговата сила снимки.
“I’m a born, bred fighter,” Miller continued. “I’ve been fighting since Day 1. I’m good at everything – damn good at everything. Мога да се боксира, I can slug, and I bring the pain. Every time I go into a fight, I look for the knockout. I’m fast, I’m powerful, and I’ve got a big damn mouth.”
Charismatic and eloquent with an outspoken affinity for cheeseburgers, Miller doesn’t hesitate to dole out trash talk, especially when it comes to his opinion on the state of the heavyweight division and its big names.
“The heavyweight division is gaining momentum overseas but it’s still wide open,” Miller continued. “Big Baby Miller has arrived to stay. I will shake up the division by turning it upside down and I will put not just my beloved hometown of Brooklyn on the map, but the entire United States of America.”
The 6-foot-6 Washington, 35, is a well-rounded athlete from Vallejo, Халиф. who turned to pro boxing in 2012. He played football under Pete Carroll and Steve Sarkisian at University of Southern California and was part of the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks practice squads before turning to boxing. Washington holds victories over experienced one-time Wladimir Klitschko foe Eddie Chambers and veteran Ray Austin. He will be making his East Coast debut on Юли 29.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to personally welcome Big Baby Miller to big-time boxing,” каза, че Вашингтон. “Big Baby Miller has done a lot of talking, I’ll be looking to stop that talking from the moment the bell to start the fight rings.”

The fighters spoke to media at Dream Hotel Downtown in Manhattan to discuss their 140-pound clash that will headline an exciting night of action later this summer.
Ето какво участниците трябваше да се каже, Понеделник:
Ейдриън BRONER
“I want to thank everyone who showed up today. I’ve been in some crazy situations and I’m blessed to be here. To get a fight like this is huge. Boxing is going back to the old days where the best fight the best. Mikey is definitely one of the best out there today.
“This can take our careers to the next level. I’m taking this seriously. I’ve been training in Colorado Springs. The weight will not be a problem. This gives me a reason to make 140. I’m not paying a man to put hands on me.
“I’m training hard and I think this will be one of the best performances of my career. This will take me to the superstar level where I need to be. I heard Mikey is a big favorite – they aren’t giving me much of a chance. I hope no one puts their house against me on this fight, because it won’t work out well for you.
“This fight will definitely bring the best out of me, because Mikey isn’t a sloppy fighter, he isn’t an awkward fighter. Не ме разбирай погрешно, he’s a Mexican, but he boxes like an African American. We’re going to have a nice fight and I can’t wait to put on a show.
“When you’ve got two athletic fighters that have skills, it can only bring the best out of each other. And the cream always comes to the top.
“I’m more focused this training camp. There are so many distractions in Cincinnati or D.C. There is nothing to do in Colorado but look at the mountains and box.
“Това ще бъде голяма борба. Robert Garcia is a great trainer for his little brother. We’re both undefeated at 140-pounds and under. Something has to break. I want everyone to tune in on Юли 29. You will see a real serious Adrien Broner in the ring. It might get ugly for Mikey on Юли 29.”
Майки GARCIA
“I’m very thankful for this opportunity. I can’t stress the importance of this fight enough. It’s the biggest fight that I could have. There are other names that are out there, but nothing made more sense than facing Adrien Broner.
“Adrien has accomplished a lot and when he’s at his best, he’s really great. That’s what I expect on Юли 29. I see that he’s taking this seriously by moving camp to Colorado. I expect him to bring the best out of me and give the fans the best fight possible.
“The fans here in New York have always treated me well and it’s a fan base that just really loves boxing. The fans are what make me a world champion. I owe it to them to perform to the best of my abilities. I’m going to come ready on Юли 29 so that this fight is remembered as one of the best of the year.
“I think he is motivated because it’s a big fight, one where he can try to get his career back on track and try to be a superstar like he has been in past big fights. He didn’t perform so well in his past fight against [Adrian] Granados and this is an opportunity for him to jump back and be a superstar again. And I think that’s what’s motivating him for this fight.
“The weight makes sense to me for this type of fight. 135-pounds is probably my best division, but I don’t think this will be much different. I’ll make weight a little more comfortably and still keep my speed and power.
“I’ll do whatever it takes to win this fight. I’m more of a boxer-puncher but if I need to press the fight and put pressure on, I’m going to be ready to do that.
“I know that we definitely have to be in the best shape possible. I am not going to take this lightly. I am not thinking it’s going to be an easy win for me. I think it’s going to be a tough fight. I believe he’s going to be ready 100% and that’s going to make it a tough fight for me but overall I think I’m the better fighter, better boxer and I’ll have enough tools to bring in the ring with me.
“Adrien is going to come to beat me and I’m coming 100 percent to beat him. The fans will be the winner on fight night, but my hand will be raised.”
MIKE STAFFORD, Trainer Broner на
“These are two really talented fighters and they’re going to put on a big show. We know Mikey is going to be prepared so we are going to do everything we can to be ready.
“Being in Colorado for training is like home for me and Adrien. This is what we’ve done since he was 18-years-old. Expect the same thing as every time before when he comes focused and prepared.
“Adrien is going to win and win real big. Това ще бъде трудна битка, but we’ll be victorious when that final bell rings.”
ROBERT GARCIA, Garcia’s Brother & Треньор
“Every time Mikey and I come to New York we get nothing but love. We know Adrien is very talented and that’s why Mikey said yes to this fight. It took less than 30 seconds for him to agree.
“Mikey wants nothing else but big fights and we have one here. Expect a hell of a fight on Юли 29. I know we’re both going to be in great shape on fight night.”
LOU DIBELLA, Президентът на DiBella Entertainment
“I love this fight. This is why we do this job. We want to make sensational fights like this for the fans to enjoy.
“Adrien Broner has spent a lot of time at the top of the sport while Mikey Garcia has made his way back to that top tier emphatically since returning last year.
“Mikey has insane amounts of talent. He’s a tremendous ambassador for the sport and he can do everything in the ring.
“Adrien Broner is a star. He’s ‘The Problem’ and sometimes he’s his own biggest problem. He’s an entertainer. People hate him but they pay to see him. He gets a lot of love and he gets a lot of hate. That’s worked for a lot of guys in this sport over the years. People care about him.”
СТИВЪН Еспиноза, Executive VP & GM, Шоу Спорт
“The bar has been set so high when you look at this year in boxing. It’s a high bar to get a main event at Barclays Center. The standard is very high and this fight certainly satisfies it. Two of boxing’s brightest young stars, both under 30 years old matching up against each other.
“This is the 19th live boxing event on SHOWTIME this year. Three world title unification, three world title rematches and six times where a top five fighter has fought another top five fighter in the division. We’re proud to bring you these two fighters on SHOWTIME. I give the fighters all the credit in the world for taking this fight. These guys are ready for big fights and they are proving it.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO, Brooklyn Sports & Забавление
“На Юли 29, Barclays Center will host its fourth major card of 2017. There is a great heritage of boxing in New York and I’m proud that Barclays Center is the number one boxing venue in the country. It has become a destination for the sport’s best talent, with Adrien and Mikey being two prime examples of that.
“I’m looking forward to one of the year’s most talked about fights. Adrien won a world title at Barclays Center and Mikey made his comeback there just last year. Юли 29 will be a special night not just for Brooklyn boxing, but for all boxing fans.
“Fights fans everywhere have already circled Юли 29 on their calendars and I look forward to seeing everyone next month.”

Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. В току-що 27 възраст, Broner (33-2, 24 Нокаута) still believes he is the future of the sport and looks to prove it against Garcia onСъбота, Юли 29.
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Broner has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 и 147 паунда, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 паунда – през октомври 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12тата round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). Broner will turn 28 years old on Юли 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.
Garcia, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 Нокаута), is a recently crowned lightweight champion and one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport. He will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. Гарсия е член на известен боксов семейство, и се отбелязва за неговото спортсменство и командва му присъствие в пръстена, усъвършенства от брат му и аплодирана треньор Робърт Гарсия. He has held world titles at 126, 130 и 135 паунда, but has never fought above 138.
Garcia, на Moreno Valley по пътя на Окснард, Калифорния., връща на ринга след две и половина години отсъствие през юли 2016 without missing a beat. After defeating Rojas, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout this January. Garcia has stopped 19 на неговата последна 21 опоненти, включително римски “Скалист” Martinez, Хуан Мануел Лопес, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.

VERONA, N.Y.. (Юни 10, 2017) – Непобеденият супер лек Реджис Програйс направи категорично изявление Петък наShoBox: Новото поколение, събаря непобедения досега Джоел Диас младши. четири пъти във втория рунд, тъй като той подпечата пристигането си като легитимен претендент в 140-килограмовата дивизия.
Левшата Prograis (20-0, 17 Нокаута), който правеше своя четвърти старт в серия за развитие на перспективите, извика водещите имена в 140 след разрушаване от втория кръг (СЗО 2:55) в казино Turning Stone Resort във Верона, N.Y..
Специалното издание на Залата на славата на ShoBox: Новото поколение включва четирима членове на Международната зала на славата на бокса: ShoBox опорите Бари Томпкинс и Стив Фархуд и специалните гости Ал Бърнщайн и Джими Ленън-младши. Томпкинс и Фархуд ще бъдат въведени в длъжност точно по пътя в Канастота в неделя в 2017 клас, оглавен от боксовите величия Евандър Холифийлд, Марко Антонио Барера и Джони Тапия.
Супер леките, Програйс и Диас, влезе в основното събитие с комбиниран запис на 42-0, но беше ясно, че са в различен клас след първия кръг. Prograis събори Диас в началото 30 секунди от секундата в размяна, която изглежда е резултат от сблъсък на крака. Независимо, Програйс усети миризмата на кръв и се нахвърли върху Диас, отново го подложи с право наляво по средата на рунда.
Жителят на Хюстън, който се премести от Ню Орлиънс след урагана Катрина, събори Диас отново просто 15 секунди по-късно с право наляво. Четвъртият и последен нокдаун, с любезното съдействие на ляво кроше, изпрати Диас (23-1, 19 Нокаута) преобръщайки се назад и беше достатъчно за рефера Марк Нелсън да спре двубоя само с секунди, останали на часовника.
Това беше убедително изявление за Prograis, който кацна 62 процента от силовите му удари в най-трудния тест в кариерата му.
"Тази вечер Доказах, че съм завършил ShoBox,“, каза Програйс. „Готов съм за по-голямата сцена. Готов съм за голямото шоу. Искам да се бия с най-добрите в дивизията. Искам (Терънс) Crawford, (победител) Постъл, (Ейдриън) Broner. Искам ги всичките. Никой от тези момчета не се е биел с някого като мен. Бугименът идва. По-добре да се приготвят.
„Той беше твърд, той беше силен и удари силно, но минах през него. Това е друг опонент, през който преминах. Преминавам през всички. Готов съм за моя удар. Идвам за всички на 140.”
Diaz, който стана 164тата боец да претърпи първото си поражение в серията, беше явно разочарован от плана си за игра.
“Излязох там твърде хипер, опитвайки се да го убие,“, каза Диас. „Излязох твърде агресивен. Трябваше да го смекча малко. имах 10 рундове, но току-що излязох, опитвайки се да го извадя. трябваше да се успокоя.
„Трябваше да използвам удара си още малко, за да го съборя, но излязох, замахвайки.”
Перспективата в супер средна категория Стив Ролс успя да запази непобедения си рекорд с тежко оспорвана победа в осем рунда с решение за пропуск над Демънд Никълсън. 77-75 Никълсън, 77-74 Rolls, 77-74 Rolls.
Ролс започна бързо, подова настилка на Никълсън с ляво кроше в последните секунди на първия за покет a 10-8 кръг. Той излезе атакуващ, за да помете втория, но битката изглежда промени курса в третата, когато Никълсън нарани Ролс в последната минута с първия си значим удар в битката.
Никълсън (17-2-1, 16 Нокаута) носеше инерцията да помете четвъртия, но останалите четири рунда включваха действия напред-назад и бяха трудни за отбелязване. Rolls (16-0, 9 Нокаута) беше малко по-заетият боец, свързване на 412 общи удари в сравнение с 390 над осем кръга, но Никълсън изпревари опонента си 134-117 общо свързва.
ShoBox дикторите Томпкинс, Farhood и Raul Marquez всички спечелиха Никълсън в последните шест рунда и изпревариха Rolls 77-74 в техните неофициални резултати.
“Какво направи разликата за мен тази вечер беше моят удар, моето търпение, цялостните ми боксови способности,“, каза Ролс. „Влязох в този двубой без съмнения. Никълсън говореше предварително за последния ми двубой, той говореше за работата ми с краката, и знаех, че ще го очаква голяма изненада. Адаптирам се за всяка битка.
„Знаех, че го имам от първия рунд. Моят ъгъл ме успокои и ми каза да не бързам.”
Никълсън, който се е състезавал предимно в 160 паунда, несъгласен с решението на съдиите.
„Няма да се оправдавам. Той спечели битката,“, каза Никълсън. „Това видяха съдиите, но не съм съгласен. Той ме нарани в първия рунд. Той ме удари жестоко в главата. Бях замаян, но се възстанових и продължих. Мисля, че свърших много добра работа, но явно не достатъчно.
„Не мога да се боря 160 – Аз съм 168 паунда. Борбата с това тегло ме изтощи. Не бях най-добре.”
При откриването схватката на телевизията, непобеденият перспективен в лека категория Джон Фернандес отбеляза брутален нокаут на Хуан Рейес на2:36 на втория кръг.
Фернандес натисна газта от началния звънец, използвайки превъзходна активност и точност, за да разграничи играта, но надмина Рейес. Двойката се комбинира за хвърляне 240 удари в началната строфа, но Фернандес попадна вдясно по желание и очевидно беше по-ефективният боец.
Протежето на Серхио Мартинес получи окървавения Рейес в първата минута на секундата и затвори шоуто в последната минута с рязко право в ухото, което изпрати Рейес (14-4-3, 2 Нокаута) падайки обратно към платното. Перфектно поставеният удар извади Рейес, преди да удари пода.
Испанецът Фернандес (13-0, 11 Нокаута) кацна зашеметяващо 55 процента от силовите му удари и 40 процента от общите му удари.
„Едно-две, едно-две беше ключът за отваряне на вратата,- каза Фернандес. „Правата дясна ръка е един от най-добрите ми удари и хванах Рейес на идеалното място. Надявам се да е добре. Чувствам, че съм готов за следващото ниво. Ще се боря навсякъде, където има възможност, но вярвам, че големите битки са тук, в САЩ.”
Рейес беше отзивчив, но беше откаран в болницата като предпазна мярка.
Петък tripleheader ще възпроизведе отново в понеделник при 10 p.m. И/PT на SHOWTIME EXTREME и ще бъде на разположение на SHOWTIME по поръчка® и SHOWTIME ВСЯКО ВРЕМЕ®.
