Now, they’ll meet in a high-stakes clash in Las Vegas on April 25. Pero and Miller will clash in a 12-round WBA heavyweight title eliminator in the main event of a Matchroom Boxing card on DAZN at Fontainebleau. The two first faced off after Pero’s unanimous decision win over Jordan Thompson and agreed they’d fight one day. Both fighters were more than confident they wouldn't just win, but do so convincingly.

“I’m going to beat this b****’* ass come April 25,“ Miller said at a press conference at Caribe Royale on Thursday. “I’m going to beat his ass so bad he might take a boat back to Cuba after this ass-whooping. Come April 25, ain’t going to be no moving around. I’m going to run him the f*** over.”

“I'm going to put on a boxing clinic,” Pero said. “I'm going to show him what Cuban boxing is. On that night, I'm going to show you how elegant it can be, but I will stop him and I'll stop him quickly.“ Oleksandr Usyk holds the WBA title, along with the Ring, IBF and WBC titles, though, a bout against the winner isn't on the Ukrainian’s radar for his final three fights. Usyk will face former Glory Kickboxing heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven on May 23 at Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on DAZN. Miller (27-1-2, 22 KOs) went viral after losing his toupee in his split decision win over Kingsley Ibeh on Jan. 31. Late in the second round, a pair of punches from Ibeh knocked Miller’s hairpiece loose, and in between rounds he threw it into the crowd. Miller, 37, has capitalized on the publicity with numerous national media appearances with what was left of his toupee still on his head. In facing this southpaw, the Brooklyn, New York, native promises to bring back the old version of himself as he seeks his first world title shot. “I’m going back to the old-school Big Baby style — 70-80 punches a round.“ Miller said. “He’s going to try and box and be all pretty. I’ve seen some of the stuff he’s been doing. I’m going to beat the brakes off his ass.“
