Jarrell Miller won a world title eliminator over Lenier Pero live from Las Vegas.
Fontainebleau hosted Miller’s showdown against Pero in what was a must-win.
‘Big Baby’ returned to the ring for the first time since his September win over Ivan Dychko on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford.
He faced Pero in a WBA world title eliminator, picking up a points decision over 12 rounds.
The three judges’ scorecards read: 117-111 x2, 115-113 after a convincing win for the 37-year-old.
Miller faced some adversity throughout the fight, especially in the opening rounds where ‘El Justiciero’ had success.

Around the fourth round onwards, some of ‘Big Baby’s’ big shots started to find a home and were clearly troubling the unbeaten Pero.
The 33-year-old remained in the contest for its entirety, with some really close ‘slugfests’ taking place towards the final bell.
Miller got the correct decision and looks to his next opponent, with new promoter Eddie Hearn stepping into the ring immediately after the fight to call out Deontay Wilder for a New York showdown next.
Alan Chaves vs Miguel Madueno
25-year-old Alan Chaves was back in action in Las Vegas and made no mistake, extending his knockout run to five on the bounce.
He took on an experienced Miguel Madueno as he looks to build towards a shot at a lightweight world title.
‘Veneno’ came off an impressive first-round victory over Pablo Vicente and was just as impressive tonight, scoring a devastating third-round knockout.
