Deontay Wilder remembers the days when heavyweights were scared to say his name. But even when he was at the top of his game and sending skulls into arena crowds, Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller always wanted a piece of him.

Most of the noise came when Wilder was the WBC heavyweight champion. Since February 2020, however, Wilder has been beltless. Still, that hasn’t stopped Miller from calling him out.

That all continued following Wilder’s recent knockout win over Tyrrell Herndon. It was a win that the former champ needed, but nothing that impressed Miller.

For the most part, Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) believes he has bigger fish to fry. The win over Herndon stopped a two-fight losing streak. Now, he’s hoping to get his hands on guys like Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois, or, of course, Anthony Joshua.

From a pride standpoint, Wilder is open to fighting Miller. If, and when it does happen, he just hopes that the trash-talking New Yorker took care of some personal financial business ahead of time.

“If that fight do land for him, I hope he already paid for his grave burial,” Wilder told TMZ Sports.

Wilder might be his preferred choice, but all signs point to Miller landing someone else. As first reported by The Ring, Miller could be thrown in with Jared Anderson, who, ironically enough, also shares the same nickname as Miller.

Talks for a Wilder fight will only take place if Miller picks up a win himself. The boisterous, brash contender hasn’t won a fight since early 2023, losing to Dubois at the end of that year before before settling for a majority decision draw against Andy Ruiz Jr in August 2024.

Whether Miller (26-1-2, 22 KOs) wins his possible match against Anderson or not, Wilder has heard enough of him. But the only way to shut him up is to get in the ring with him, something Wilder hopes will happen.

“I can’t wait.”
