Exciting Heavyweight Matchup Announced
The highly anticipated showdown between champions Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford is set to be accompanied by an exciting heavyweight match featuring prominent boxers Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller and Michael “The Bounty” Hunter. Announced by Ring Magazine, this bout will take place on September 11, just two days prior to the main event at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium.
Clarification for Ticket Holders
With less than a month until the main fight, ticket holders were becoming increasingly restless due to unclear details regarding Turki Alalshikh’s undercard, which spans three days. Fans faced various challenges, including the need to buy separate tickets and discover the locations of additional undercard matches, raising doubts as the date approached. However, the announcement bringing clarity to the event finally arrived over the past weekend.
“A thrilling heavyweight matchup has been secured between Jarrell Miller and Michael Hunter,”
solidifying the excitement surrounding the fight week. Both fighters bring unique styles to the ring: Miller, known for his aggressive approach and outspoken personality, will be challenged by Hunter, a skillful and agile boxer with a rich amateur background.
Background of the Fighters
Initially, Miller had hoped to go head-to-head with fellow American fighter Jared Anderson, but the latter withdrew last minute, paving the way for Hunter to step in. Hunter had been eager for a title bout with Kubrat Pulev, but the delay from Pulev created an opportune moment for him to accept Miller’s challenge. The victor in their clash could be on the verge of a significant title shot, depending on potential title changes involving Oleksandr Usyk.
Conclusion
This fight marks a crucial addition to what promises to be a thrilling week of boxing. With the inclusion of such a high-stakes heavyweight fight on the undercard, it underscores a dedication to providing fans with exceptional boxing entertainment leading up to the main event. Alalshikh has unveiled plans for as many as nineteen additional undercard bouts to take place over the course of the week, culminating in the much-anticipated contest for the undisputed super middleweight title.
