Following a big win in Las Vegas, promoter Eddie Hearn has called for an all-American showdown between Jarrell Miller & Deontay Wilder.
Wilder & Miller have exchanged verbals over the years and Hearn believes now may be the perfect time for the pair to face off.
‘Big Baby’ returned to the ring for the first time since his tight points win over Ivan Dychko on the undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford.
He faced unbeaten Lenier Pero in a final eliminator for the WBA world title.

Over 12 rounds, Miller proved he still has a lot to offer and can really cause problems for the sport’s biggest stars like Deontay Wilder.
Hearn spoke on the DAZN broadcast immediately after the 37-year-old’s win.
“When I look at the fights in the [heavyweight] division, as a promoter you want a fight with great build-up and jeopardy.
“For me, the American fight is Deontay Wilder against Jarrell Miller, run it in New York — that’s a serious, serious fight.”
Wilder was last in action himself recently when he headlined the O2 Arena in London, England.
‘The Bronze Bomber’ beat a tough Derek Chisora over the distance, dropping ‘Del Boy’ in the eighth and ninth rounds.
He made it clear a fight with Anthony Joshua would be what he wants next but, with ‘AJ’ likely eyeing a less risky warm-up fight before a long-awaited showdown with Tyson Fury, Wilder will most likely have to wait.
Miller spoke on the broadcast and revealed a date he would like to return to the ring.
“I am trying to fight again maybe June on the ‘Boots’ Ennis undercard in New York [June 27], Pero where is your brother at, tell him he can get his a** whooped next.

“If anything I’d fight him on the ‘Boots’ undercard if everyone else is unavailable, we know Usyk is fighting Rico [Verhoeven].
“Tyson [Fury] might be interested but you know we want to fight on neutral grounds, he can come to America, the UK guys don’t really like me too much.
“Maybe in Saudi, if they put the money up I’d love to fight Tyson.”
Miller continued to address the fight with ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and did not hold back his feelings.

“Deontay [Wilder], he’s a p**** man, he said a long time ago that he doesn’t want to fight ‘Big Baby’ because I hurt his feelings.
“If you don’t shut your pie-a** up and come fight me boy.”
