Daniel Dubois v Jarrell Miller: Briton reignites career with last-gasp stoppage win in Saudi Arabia

Publish date: 2024-07-17

Jeers echoed for Dubois, but it was the Londoner who started strongly - landing a jab and two crunching body shots within the first 20 seconds.

Miller tipped the scales at a staggering 23st 11lb at the weigh-in, offering a large target for Dubois to continually pummel the body.

Brooklyn fighter Miller continued to walk his opponent down before connecting with three wild swings in the second round. He increased in confidence, doubling and trebling up his jab. Each Miller punch was being whipped in with real venom.

The fight was quickly becoming a shootout. Both men trading leather. The volume of work from Dubois, the more hurtful punches from Miller.

But Dubois soon regained control, moving more freely around the ring, punching with more accuracy.

A chopping right stopped Miller - gasping for air - in his tracks in the seventh. Dubois continued to nail Miller with combinations to head and body.

Miller was staggered in the eight and began to visibly tire further in the ninth.

Dubois took full advantage and finished the contest in style. Ducking under telegraphed Miller punches, he countered with quick hands and eye-catching shots.

Miller showed defiance, pumping out his chest, but seven unanswered hooks from Dubois left the referee no choice.

Just a couple of hours before their fight, Miller posted on Instagram complaining of the British referee and judges.

In the end, the nationality of the judges was irrelevant.
