Jarrell Miller bids to put himself in the frame for a title shot when he faces Lenier Pero at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

But just how did they come to this match-up? DAZN News explores the last five fights for each man and how they fared.
DAZN FACE OFF: Wardley vs. Dubois
Watch explosive encounter here
Jarrell Miller (27-1-2)
- Age: 37
- Fights: 30
- Last five: WWLDW
A man with a roller-coaster of sliding doors behind him, 'Big Baby' has only fought six times since 2019 for a multitue of various reasons.
Heavy-handed stoppages over Derek Cardenas and Lucas Browne led him to a first career loss in late 2023 versus Daniel Dubois.
Since then, a draw with Andy Ruiz Jr. further checked momentum, but Miller got back on track with a win over Kingsley Ibeh in January.
Lenier Pero (13-0)
- Age: 33
- Fights: 13
- Last five: WWWWW
Four years younger than his opponent, the Cuban has endured a slow move through the ranks, even with an undefeated pro record on hand.
Since his country loosened its sporting rules, Pero has secured stoppages over Victor Vykhryst, Guillermo Ruben Andino and Donnie Palmer.
He was taken the distance in his last two fights though, against Detrailous Webster last April, and then Jordan Thompson back in November.
