RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 06-29-2018 Pulev Ready for Big Baby IBF #2 heavyweight Kubrat Pulev is ready to face IBF #3 rated contender, Jarrell Miller from Brooklyn, NY. “I’m happy to welcome Jerrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller to Bulgaria. It will be an opportunity to showcase this exciting heavyweight matchup between us in front of grateful boxing fans,” Pulev announced via Twitter. On June 25, 2017, Epic Sports & Entertainment won the IBF purse bid for the heavyweight elimination bout between Pulev and Miller with a whopping bid of $2,111,111. The next highest bidder, Sauerland Events, placed their offer at $1,000,010, less than 50% of Epic’s bid. Epic had also won the previous IBF purse bid on May 24, 2018 for the Pulev vs. Dillian Whyte bout with a bid of over $1.5 million, but Whyte and his promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, ended up pulling out and signing to fight Joseph Parker. Earlier in the year, on March 12, 2018, the IBF had ordered a heavyweight elimination bout between Pulev and Dominic Breazeale, but Breazeale too ultimately refused to fight Pulev. “Miller’s promoter told the IBF that they wanted the fight and that Miller was available,” said Ivaylo Gotzev, CEO of Epic Sports. “Contracts have been sent and it’s time for this battle to take place on September 1st in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. There is so much at stake as this bout will determine the mandatory challenger for the Champion Anthony Joshua.” “Bulgaria is a Land of Beauty with great hospitality ,” continued Gotzev. “The red carpet will be laid out for Miller like he has never seen before and he and his team will be welcomed with open arms. Since we won the purse bid on Monday, we’ve been in regular contact with Jarrell’s co-promoters, Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions. We explored with them doing the event here in the U.S., but Miller is apparently not yet a big enough draw to interest the major U.S. boxing networks and they have all turned down doing the fight here which is why we are taking it to Europe, where Kubrat is a huge celebrity and draw. All that is left is for Miller to sign.” RE: Heavyweight Division - mippy - 07-01-2018 Pulev v Miller is a great fight. Good chance for Jarrell to make a statement RE: Heavyweight Division - bopman - 07-02-2018 Massive step up for Baby but dam pulev must Have some major ring rust as we haven't seen him fight for like a year or two. I really like this match up because Pulev is a real fundamental boxer and miller can brawl. Its gonna be great. RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 07-02-2018 Miller said he's not going to bulgaria, fight looks to be off. RE: Heavyweight Division - African Monkey - 07-02-2018 So Miller is another one who talks about fighting anyone anywhere anytime but fails to back it up.

There's a good chance that if he stops running he gets KOd by a decent opponent David price needs to look after his health and retire RE: Heavyweight Division - bopman - 07-05-2018 David Price must still be concussed with that decision. Would be a great test to see where fury is at though!!! As a fan I still wana see it but I know its wrong for prices health. Hughie has the best footwork in the game but his power in his hands is that of a school boy. He will be a runner for a while until his power develops, kind of like a more skilled, bigger Malik Scott lol. |
