Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller has issued a final warning to critics after seeing his second fight in consecutive months collapse, this time against Michael Hunter.
Miller, who previously lost a bout to Fabio Wardley under similar circumstances, has come under scrutiny due to his checkered history — having already served a suspension for multiple failed drug tests earlier in his career.
He also missed out on a collision with Jared Anderson through no fault of his own.
But the heavyweight insists his latest setbacks are genuine and that speculation over his integrity will not be tolerated.
Miller: Lawyers on deck
The Brooklyn-born fighter fired a public shot at doubters across social media:
“Stop. Lawyers on deck. No guns, just the mighty pen,” he said.
Backing up the threat, Miller released a formal legal statement through his attorneys, warning that he would file lawsuits against anyone suggesting impropriety surrounding his canceled fights.
The legal notice
Miller’s letter, signed under his legal name Jarrell King Miller, states, “Once again, I must directly address ongoing misinformation and false claims regarding the cancellation of the fight with Michael Hunter.
“I have seen both written statements and videos circulating that attempt to slander my name, misrepresent facts, or suggest unauthorized negotiations. Let this serve as a clear and final warning:
“Any further false statements, defamation, slander, or libel directed at me or my professional career will result in immediate legal action. My legal team and I are fully prepared to pursue all violators to the fullest extent of the law. You are hereby on notice.
“Do not be misled. Do not sign, negotiate, or enter into any agreements without my written or verbal authorization and the acknowledgment of my attorneys. This is the final warning. Violators will face swift legal consequences,” Miller concluded.
Reputation Rebuild
The statement highlights the fragile position Miller finds himself in. Having returned from suspension to rebuild his reputation, back-to-back cancellations leave lingering doubts that only a high-profile comeback in the ring can silence.
Miller may have his lawyers on deck, but the only way “Big Baby” truly clears his name is by delivering when the bell rings.
