Jarrell Miller, back in trash-talk mode, takes jabs at Wilder-Fury II
Jarrell Miller is a disgraced drug cheat in the eyes of many, but don’t expect him to lie low.
With the ink still fresh from signing a multi-year promotional contract with Top Rank, the Brooklyn heavyweight is eager to make his ring return later this spring. He’s also apparently eager to get back to his trash-talking ways. His favorite target? The heavyweight division’s upper class.
“Beyoncé wilder undercard is going to be a lil dry I think it need(s) a lil Juicing Up,” the Brooklyn heavyweight posted on Instagram Friday in a reference to the upcoming heavyweight title fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.
Juicing up? Was that a Freudian slip? Or just Miller being Miller?
We might as well get used to it. Top Rank boasts a slew of heavyweights who can serve as potential opponents for Miller, including Kubrat Pulev, Carlos Takam and Agit Kabayel, to name a few.
Miller tested positive for several PEDs ahead of his scheduled tussle against then British titleholder Anthony Joshua in June 2018. He was dropped from the card but, in the opinion of many, the penalty he received was a slap on the rest: The WBA suspended him for six months while the New York State Athletic Commission, citing Miller’s expired license, took no punitive action.
After staying out of the headlines for a few months, Miller linked up with a new manager in James Prince, the manager of former two-time titleholder Andre Ward and current featherweight titleholder Shakur Stevenson.
In another post, Miller recorded himself addressing his followers about the Wilder-Fury pay-per-view tilt, comparing it to bodily waste.
“They want to give you a fart fight,” he said. “If you want to watch a fart fight on pay-per-view, I think Deontay Wilder-Fury might be your card. But if you want that smoke smoke, come holla at your boy, cuz I”m back and I’mma smoke somebody ass. I can’t wait, I really can’t wait.
“Big Baby is back. The most entertaining heavyweight in the game.”
