It was previously unofficially announced that Miller's opponent would be Jared Anderson, but the latter ultimately withdrew from the fight. It is reported that Deontay Wilder also declined an offer to fight the "Big Baby".
Jarrell Miller last fought in August of last year, when he drew with Andy Ruiz Jr., although it should be noted that the verdict was unfair to the New Yorker. Originally, Michael Hunter was supposed to face Kubrat Pulev for the "regular" WBA heavyweight championship title, but it turned out that he changed his mind.
