If Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller cut an angry figure going into his June 7 fight with unbeaten, 18-0-1(17) Brit Fabio Wardley, the New Yorker with the known propensity for trash-talk is even angrier right now.
Fight fans might be more than a little tired of pre-fight dramas at press conferences and weigh-ins. We’ve seen far too many table slips, slaps in the face, and pushing and shoving matches between two fighters as they go face-to-face ahead of a fight.
As fans know, unbeaten British heavyweight Fabio Wardley will land what he says is a dream fight in his hometown of Ipswich, at Portman Road Stadium, against Jarrell Miller.
According to Mike Coppinger – who has recently started working for Turki Alalshikh, who now of course owns The Ring – a quite interesting heavyweight match-up is heading towards Ipswich in the UK.

Jarrell Miller and Jared Anderson stole the show during Thursday’s final press conference with their back-and-forth trash talk.
