Derek Chisora vs Jarrell Miller Fight Called Off

The much-anticipated heavyweight clash between Derek Chisora and Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller will not be happening. Promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that Chisora, who was expected to face Miller on December 13, ultimately decided not to take the fight.

According to reports, the bout was being lined up as a major event in Manchester, with both fighters looking to make a statement after recent setbacks. However, Warren revealed that Chisora turned down the fight offer despite initial discussions being close to finalized. While no official reason was provided for Chisora’s withdrawal, it appears the British veteran wasn’t fully convinced about taking on Miller at this stage of his career.

Warren remains optimistic that Chisora will still compete on December 13, with plans underway to announce a new opponent soon. “We were supposed to do Chisora versus Jarrell Miller, but that’s not happening,” Warren said. “We’re still hoping to have Derek fight on December 13 in Manchester. The announcement will come this Saturday.”

For fans, the news comes as a disappointment, as the proposed matchup promised a thrilling clash of styles. Miller, known for his size and relentless pressure, last fought Daniel Dubois in December 2023, suffering a knockout defeat. Chisora, on the other hand, has been weighing up his options after hinting that his next fight could be his last.

If Chisora does step into the ring in December, it will mark his 50th professional bout — a milestone in a career filled with memorable wars against names like Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, and Dillian Whyte.
