      Jarrell Miller’s net worth, career earnings and boxing record explained

      by

      JARRELL MILLER’S boxing career has been marred by scandal.Here’s what we know about the controversial US heavyweight’s career so far — and his net worth.
      Jarrell Miller will face Daniel Dubois in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on December 23, 2023.
      What is Jarrell Miller’s net worth? 
      Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller’s net worth is estimated at between $5 million – $110 million.
      Born in Brooklyn, New York, the 6’4” heavyweight started boxing at 16 years old and made his professional debut in 2009, when he was 21. 
      Since then, he has earned a lot of money from boxing, and various sponsorship deals. 
      But Miller has lost out on significant earnings since failing multiple drug tests.

      Miller was up against Anthony Joshua in June 2019, but the Madison Square Gardens fight was called off at the eleventh hour after the “Big Baby” failed multiple drug tests.
      His purse was said to have been around $4.8m (£3.6m), and even more if he were to win and secure a rematch — but Miller has said he lost out of up to £24 million. 
      Miller said: “The first fight was 7.5 m’s and the rematch if I knocked him out was a minimum of 15 to 20 so at least 30 mill by the end of the year.
      “I’m from Brooklyn, do you know how many cheeseburgers that was just now I could’ve bought?
      Most read in Boxing
      “But like I said, I never got into sport because of money and I feel if I do it in the right way this time I’ll be back there.”
      At the time, Miller blamed the tests on a tainted supplement and stem cell shots in his elbow — but a second failed drugs test was blamed on a sex pill. 
      The former kickboxer was then handed a two-year ban, which he served before his licence was reinstated in 2022. 
      What is Jarrell Miller’s boxing record?
      The US boxer’s record stands at 26–0–1, with 22 wins by knockout. 
      As a kickboxer, his record was 22–2. 
      After his called-off fight with AJ, and subsequent drug test failure, there were calls from boxing figureheads for a lifetime ban.
      But Miller has won all three fights he’s played since getting back in the ring, including a showdown with Lucas Browne in Dubai in 2023. 
      After the fight, Miller called out bitter his rival AJ, and Daniel Dubois.
      Big Baby Miller is up against Dubois in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday 23 December, on a mega-card which will also see headliner AJ facing Otto Wallin.
      After a heated confrontation between the rivals in which Miller called AJ a “p***y”, the British champion told SunSport:
      “I have to just let him know he is not even in my sights. He is beneath me.
      “In reality, I was thinking, ‘Why do I even address that clown? He is beneath me’.

      “I have bigger and better things to focus on. He is a clown.
      “I am fully focused on Otto Wallin, after this week I will tell you everything but right now Wallin is the only focus.” More

      Referee Simon Hooper abandoned the match after the Welshman was stretchered off.
      The game was all tied up at 1-1 when the emergency happened.
      Luton Town star Elijah Adebayo stunned fans when he broke the deadlock within the opening three minutes but Dominic Solanke netted the equaliser for the hosts after half-time.
      The Hatters have now confirmed that the game will be replayed in full at a later date this season.
      READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS
      A statement read: “The Premier League Board has decided that last Saturday’s fixture with AFC Bournemouth will be replayed in full.
      “The game will be rescheduled for later in the season, with a date to be confirmed following consultation with relevant parties.
      “The Luton Town ticket office would like to add that ticketing information regarding the rearranged game will be announced in due course.”
      The Premier League Board has the power to order a match in which 90 minutes has not been completed to be replayed in full or in part, or allow the result at the time of the abandonment to stand.

      WHAT PRECEDENT IS THERE?
      Numerous Premier League matches have been abandoned, the most recent in 2006 when Watford vs Wigan was called off on 59 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch.
      The match was 1-1 at the time, and restarted at 0-0 before ending 1-1.
      The same year, Fulham’s game with Sunderland was called off due to heavy snow in the 21st minute.
      The Cottagers were leading 1-0 at the time, but when the match was replayed from scratch, they ending up losing 2-1.
      Aside from extreme weather, the only other reason for abandoning Premier League matches has been floodlight failures.
      In all cases, matches were played at an alternative date from scratch.

      Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin fight purse: How much money will both fighters earn for Saudi fight?

      by

      🥊ANTHONY JOSHUA VS OTTO WALLIN: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF THRILLING SAUDI CLASH🥊
      How much will Anthony Joshua earn?
      Despite Saudi boxing chiefs keeping their fight purses top secret, Joshua, 34, is set to earn around £8million from the fight against Wallin.
      Wilder claimed the two-time heavyweight world champion was set to earn over £40m for his next two fights.
      That would likely mean a much bigger payday for fighting Wilder than Wallin.
      The Bronze Bomber, who will fight AJ in March if they both win, said: “Everyone will get in the ring for the right price, especially when there is over $50m (£40m) on the table.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “Everything is going in the right direction now and the fight will happen.
      “The time is finally here and people are going to get what they have wanted for years.”
      So if Wilder is right, and AJ takes about £8m from his first fight, he would get the other £32m when he faces off with the American in the follow up fight.
      How much will Otto Wallin earn?
      In the case of 32-year-old Wallin, the figure he will earn from the fight is unclear.
      Most read in Boxing
      Wallin reportedly earned just shy of £200,000 when he fought Tyson Fury in 2019.
      CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS
      He is unlikely to earn more money than his opponent, with the £200,000 figure instead likely to be at least doubled thanks to the Saudi-backed purse.
      How much is each fighter’s net worth?
      AJ has amassed a wealth of over £200m over his career.
      Meanwhile, Wallin is estimated to have earned a far more modest £1m.
      This vast difference in wealth also leads to a striking difference in their lifestyles. More

      Deontay Wilder net worth 2023, career earnings and boxing record

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER is one of the hardest-punching heavyweights in boxing history and will return to the ring on December 23 after more than a year away.Wilder, 38, is set to face fellow former world champion Joseph Parker in Saudi Arabia, ahead of a blockbuster clash with Anthony Joshua in March – should both win.

      AJ will fight Otto Wallin on the same card, dubbed the Day of Reckoning, which is set to be one of the richest cards in boxing history.
      Here is everything you need to know about the former WBC heavyweight world champion who is famed for his ferocious power.
      What is Deontay Wilder’s net worth?
      According to Forbes, Wilder made a massive $46.5M (£33m) in 2020 alone – despite fighting just once.
      That made him the third wealthiest boxer behind Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Anthony Joshua.
      Wilder took home $2 million when he faced Luis Ortiz in March 2018 and made $20 million in their 2019 rematch.
      He made $10 million for his knockout victory over Dominic Breazeale in 2019.

      Read More on Net Worths
      The trilogy fight against Tyson Fury meant a huge increase in Wilder’s salary.
      He earned $10 million (£7.8m) in the first bout and around $28 million (£21.9m) in the rematch.
      For the third fight, Wilder took home a guaranteed purse of $10 million, including a share of the pay-per-view revenue.
      Wilder has only fought once since that trilogy ended in October 2021 – destroying Robert Helenius inside one round in New York City.
      The Bronze Bomber earned a reported fortune for his 2 mins 57 seconds of work that night, earning an estimated purse of $20 million (£15.68m).
      According to Forbes, Wilder has earned approximately $500,000 (£292,000) through endorsement deals.
      He has partnered with Everlast Boxing, PureKana CBD and Raising Cane’s.
      As of December 2023, Wilder has more than 3 million followers on Instagram.
      Read More on Deontay Wilder
      He owns a number of luxurious cars and expensive jewellery and plans on focusing on music once he retires from the ring.
      Whether that proves to be a massive money-maker for Wilder is yet to be seen.
      While the exact figures for his fight with Parker are not yet known, Wilder reiterated how lucrative this Saudi Arabia deal will be for Joshua – leading to claims that Wilder will also make out big.
      The American claimed AJ will make more than £50 million over his two-fight Saudi deal, which will see the Brit face Wilder should he beat Otto Wallin.
      Wilder said: “Everyone will get in the ring for the right price, especially when there is over $50m on the table.
      “Everything is going in the right direction now and the fight will happen.
      “The time is finally here and people are going to get what they have wanted for years.”
      What is Deontay Wilder’s boxing record?
      From 2015 to 2020, Wilder held the heavyweight title and successfully defended the belt on 10 occasions.
      In 2015, Wilder became the first American world heavyweight champion since 2007.
      This marked the end of the longest period in which an American had not held a heavyweight title.
      Wilder’s record today stands at 43-2-1 – the two losses and one draw all from his trilogy with Tyson Fury.
      He suffered his loss against Fury via 7th-round TKO on February 22, 2020, which ended his 42-fight win streak.
      Both of Wilder’s losses came via stoppage.
      Aside from Fury, Wilder has beaten every other man that he’s stepped into the ring with.
      He entered the professional boxing scene in November 2008 at the age of 23, securing victory in his debut with a 2nd round TKO.
      Following this, he embarked on an impressive streak of 39 more consecutive wins, including 38 via stoppage.
      Wilder’s first world title fight came in January 2015, when he faced Bermane Stiverne for the heavyweight WBC title.
      He defeated Stiverne in round 12 in a unanimous decision to become the heavyweight champion of the world.
      Some of his notable victories include winning against Robert Helenius, Dominic Breazeale, Luis Ortiz, Gerald Washington, Artur Szpilka, and Éric Molina.
      Read More in The Sun
      Despite his successful career, Wilder has faced criticism for his fighting style, with some commentators arguing that he heavily relies on his right hand and lacks versatility in his boxing approach.
      However, his fans appreciate and applaud his raw power, which has earned him the nickname “The Bronze Bomber.” More
