Broner vs Garcia: Jarrell Miller wants shot at Deontay Wilder if he gets past Gerald Washington
Thursday 27 July 2017 13:58, UK
Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller is hopeful that victory over Gerald Washington this Sunday morning will lead to a fight with Deontay Wilder.
The unbeaten and fast-talking heavyweight takes on Washington in his hometown of Brooklyn on the undercard to Adrien Broner's super-lightweight showdown with Mikey Garcia, live on Sky Sports Action.
Miller, never shy of a word or two, is intent on getting a stoppage victory before chasing a fight with WBC world champion Deontay Wilder.
"I can't wait to get in the ring in my hometown. There's going to be great energy and great excitement.
"Gerald Washington is a good opponent for me coming back from a layoff. Most people wouldn't go right into a fight so challenging, but I'm warrior-built and I've been doing this for a long time.
"My main thing is to go in there and knock him out. However the knockout comes, it comes. This is boxing so anything can happen in there. Deontay Wilder is different to me and I'm going to show that.
"I hope that I can get a fight with Wilder after this one. If he'll come to New York, then even better. I think my progression is ahead of where he was. We're going to keep fighting, getting knockouts and eventually a world title fight."
