Jarrell Miller has tipped the scales at an incredible 333lb ahead of his fight with Lucas Browne in Dubai.
The two heavyweights are set to face off at the Agenda Arena in the Middle Eastern nation under the auspices of the Dubai Boxing Commission.
Miller’s monstrous weight isn’t even a career highest – he’s previously posted 341lb against Ariel Esteban Bracamonte. Browne is 277 – his top weight by 3lb. The combined total for the bout is over 600lb, or 42 stone.

The pair will battle it out over 10 rounds with Miller being the heavy favourite to end proceedings early.
The Brooklyn native is best known to UK fans for being weeks out from a chance at Anthony Joshua’s unified heavyweight titles before failing a doping test for three performance enhancing drugs.
Dropped from the card, Miller was banned by the WBA for six-months. When he was set to make his ring return the next year, he again failed a pre-fight drugs test and was this time banned by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
Eventually making a successful ring return in 2022 in a unanimous decision victory over Bracamonte, ‘Big Baby’ has knocked out Derek Cardenas since then and now finds himself heading this card in Dubai against 43-year old Browne.
The Aussie heavyweight has fallen short against Dillian Whyte, Dave Allen and Paul Gallen – all by stoppage – but energised the tail end of his career in 2022 by knocking out New Zealand’s Junior Fa – ten years his younger – in the first round.
Miller sees this as a step in the right direction to challenge for a world heavyweight title in the future – an opportunity he squandered in the worst way, burning bridges with certain promoters and broadcasters in doing so.
