Oleksandr Usyk is currently searching for his next opponent and he may not have to look much further after being called out by one big name in particular.
Usyk has beaten all comers throughout his professional career, first clearing out the cruiserweight division before moving up to heavyweight and repeating that success.
He has beaten Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois all on two occasions each, leading to the 39-year-old twice becoming undisputed heavyweight champion.
The one other name that once ruled over the heavyweight division that eludes Usyk is Deontay Wilder, and it seemed that the former WBC champion would earn a shot at the Ukrainian after they were reported to be in negotiations over a summer fight.
It wasn’t to be, after Wilder instead signed to take on Derek Chisora in April, but another American heavyweight has thrown his hat into the ring for a clash against Usyk.
Speaking to The Ring, Jarrell Miller revealed what would happen were he to step into the ring against Usyk.
“Run his a** over.”
Miller returned to action on the Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson card at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night, claiming a unanimous decision victory against Kingsley Ibeh.
It was Miller’s first fight since a draw against Andy Ruiz in August 2024, and prior to that the American suffered a stoppage defeat to Daniel Dubois, so his return to winning ways may well have helped his cause for securing a clash against Usyk.
Perhaps the biggest talking point in the bout though was a bizarre moment when it transpired Miller was wearing a toupee, as his hair was punched off his head during the action.
