Advertiser Dmitry Salita will speak to Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom about a potential clash between Jarrell Miller and Dillian Whyte.
Salita represents America’s controversial heavyweight who defeated Ariel Esteban Bracamonte by unanimous decision in Argentina on June 23. The victory signaled his return after four years away from boxing after being banned from the sport for PED offenses.
This week Salita is in the UK with Claressa Shields to promote the September 10 undisputed Middleweight Championship match with Savannah Marshall on Sky Sports. The fight was officially announced yesterday during a launch press conference with Shalom having played a role in bringing the fight sideways.
Talking to Lord PingSalita says:
“As I understand it, Dillian is not tied to a network. He has a history of great fights on Sky Sports.”
“I’m finished in the UK now and that’s what I’m going to talk to Ben Shalom about.”
“Dillian has a huge history of fighting on Sky and Jarrell Miller would make another great dance partner.”
It was more than two months since Whyte lost his first world title. ‘The Bodysnatcher’ was knocked out by WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in the sixth round at Wembley Stadium to cement Fury’s place at the top of the table. Miller was in the working camp with ‘The Gypsy King’ and is ready to take on Whyte in the UK. Salita says a fight between his responsibilities and Whyte would be a pretty interesting sight.
“I believe Jarrell Miller versus Dillian Whyte has the potential to be one of the most explosive fights in the heavyweight division.”
“Personality, style – Jarrell will come to fight, he will come to seek and destroy and perform for the fans. And then, the cross-sectional nature of this fight makes it a really interesting battle of wits. “
“Their blend of characters will create a giant spectacle and the winner will be placed in line with a world title – the build alone will be the box office.”
He added:
“Jarrell is ready to follow in the footsteps of Tyson and KO Whyte – but he has to be at his best. “
“Whyte is a world-class fighter who has shown an incredible ability to return to the top after setbacks. But Jarrell at his best is one of the top heavyweights in the world. “
“I’m confident that at his best he is capable of not only defeating Whyte but stopping him.”
