Jarrell Miller-Michael Hunter To Headline Sept. 11 Card During Canelo-Crawford Fight Week

Miller, 37, had appeared on a collision course with Jared "Big Baby" Anderson, as Riyadh Season head Turki Alalshikh outlined during a discussion posted online last month.
It won't be Jared Anderson as first planned, but Jarrell Miller will still get an all-American heavyweight showdown with agemate Michael Hunter next month.
The contest is the first of many to be announced over the coming weeks, set to headline a Sept. 11 event in Las Vegas as part of the Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford fight week festivities. Their super middleweight megafight for all the 168-pound marbles takes place two days later at Allegiant Stadium, streamed exclusively on Netflix worldwide.
Miller (26-1-2, 22 KOs) was originally slated to face WBA interim champion Fabio Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KOs) in Ipswich, England, on June 7.
Instead, the 37-year-old withdrew a month earlier after a shoulder injury in camp and appeared on a collision course with "Big Baby" Anderson, as Riyadh Season head Turki Alalshikh outlined during a discussion posted online last month.
Miller has done plenty of talking since the Wardley fight fell through, watching the unbeaten Brit unseat contender Justis Huni in dramatic fashion.
Unimpressed by long-reigning former champion Deontay Wilder's return as well as criticising Anderson among others, the New York native has long sought a new fight date and marquee matchup as this past week marked a full year since his 12-round majority draw with another former titlist in Andy Ruiz on the Crawford-Israil Madrimov undercard.
Instead, he'll face a highly ranked contender in Hunter (No. 1 WBA, No. 7 IBF), whose career-best work has come at cruiserweight when he was floored in the final round en route to a 12-round decision defeat by Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO crown in April 2017.
Having mirrored the unbeaten Ukrainian by jumping up to the sport's glamour division, the Las Vegas native will make his first appearance of 2025, having struggled for activity against quality opposition after flickering between outings in Mexico and the U.S. since 2021.
More undercard information will follow soon.
