Jarrell Miller will enter the ring weighing more than two middleweights when he faces Daniel Dubois tomorrow night.
The controversial American heavyweight has promised to punish the younger man, and, at this size, he’ll be confident that his ‘bully’ persona will translate in the ring when all the talking is done.
The much lighter Dubois will look to focus on more accurate work, and hope that, as the rounds go on, Miller’s bulk will take its toll on his stamina.
The Brit weighed in at 239lbs. Miller then tested the scales, ultimately posting up a quite incredible 333lbs.

‘Big Baby’ then got a shove in before the pair separated to meet in the ring tomorrow night.

Miller has had three low-level wins since returning from his two-year doping ban handed down by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, weighing in over 325lbs each time. His career lightest is a comparatively tiny 242lbs against Tyrone Gibson back in 2012.
Dubois was just a couple of pounds over his career lowest last time out against Oleksandr Usyk – 233lbs – and tends to hang around that number consistently.
How the weight will play a factor will be revealed tomorrow night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The contest, although coming on the undercard before three others, is seen by many as the most intriguing on the card.
A second loss on the bounce for Dubois, even at his young age, is a sore one. Should that be the case, the manner of defeat will be an important factor given the almost incessant questions about his heart and grit in the ring.
For Miller, it’s a chance to back up his prolific trash talk on a big stage for the first time. At 35-years-old, if he wants to keep hopes of an even bigger fight alive then victory is essential.
