Accra — Ghana will stage a major international heavyweight fight next month: American Jarrell Miller against France's Tony Yoka at the Grand Arena in Accra on 20 December, promoter Matchroom Boxing has announced.
The bout will top the bill, ESPN reported.
Miller, 34, has a record of 28 wins, one defeat and two draws, with 22 knockouts, and is the World Boxing Association's number one contender. After an 11-0 start he lost three fights in a row, then won his next five, but has struggled for momentum over the past year.
Yoka, who won Olympic super-heavyweight gold at Rio 2016, has a professional record of 15 wins and three defeats, with 12 knockouts. A fight against Lawrence Okolie in April was called off when Okolie tested positive for a banned substance, and in July Yoka withdrew from a WBA "regular" title fight against Murat Gassiev with a back injury.
Matchroom's Eddie Hearn called it a serious fight to close a busy month of heavyweight boxing. He said a win over Yoka would set Miller up for big fights in 2027, and predicted "an absolute war".
