Jarrell Miller will face unbeaten Cuban contender Lenier Pero in a heavyweight clash on April 25 in Las Vegas, headlining a Matchroom Boxing event at Fontainebleau. The bout brings together two contenders looking to push closer to the top tier of the division.

Miller returns following his January points win over Kingsley Ibeh, a fight that drew attention both for the result and a viral moment in the ring. The 37-year-old from Brooklyn continues his comeback run after years of inactivity following his 2019 failed drug tests that derailed a planned title shot against Anthony Joshua.

Promoter Eddie Hearn described the fight as a key opportunity for Miller to re-establish himself among the heavyweight names, noting that his recent win provided valuable rounds as he rebuilds momentum. Miller himself promised another entertaining performance.

Pero enters as the WBA’s No. 2-ranked contender and sees the matchup as a major step forward. The 33-year-old southpaw has yet to compete beyond ten rounds but owns notable wins, including a stoppage of Viktor Vykhryst and a decision victory over Jordan Thompson last November.
