Salita: 'I don't recognize Jarrell Miller'

Promoter Jarrell Miller (26-1-1, 22 KOs) Dmitry Salita commented in an interview with Pro Boxing Fans on the recent legal adventures of his fighter, who was arrested in Florida in connection with an attack and car theft.

“I’ve talked to his family and I’m very surprised by what happened to him,” Salita said. — I’ve read all these accusations and I don’t recognize Jarrell described there! I don't know an aggressive Jarrell who could do such things. I don’t know this side of him and I was surprised by what happened. Yesterday he called me and told me his version of events. I cannot comment on this matter, but what he told me gives a broader context to the case.”

According to media reports, Jarrell Miller allegedly attacked a car dealership employee and stole a car a few days after a performance in Riyadh, where he lost to Daniel Dubois by TKO.
