“I’m gonna f* you up.” – Miller vows destruction after Portman Road clash descends into chaos**
The first face-off between Fabio Wardley and Jarrell Miller turned physical and foul-mouthed on Monday at Portman Road, as the pair kicked off promotion for their June 7 heavyweight fight for the WBA Interim world title.
What started as a standard press call spiralled into chaos when Miller, fired up over a diss track titled Big Baby Killer, stormed toward Wardley, accusing him of making “a death threat.” Shoving, shouting, and security scrambling followed. Somehow, the press event resumed, though no one pretended they were here for polite conversation.
Wardley: “I picked you. You’re gonna learn a lesson.”
Fighting in front of a home crowd in Ipswich, Fabio Wardley (17-0-1, 16 KOs) made it clear this isn’t just business — it’s personal. The British heavyweight spoke with trademark confidence:
“This is hallowed turf. When there’s a ring on that pitch, I become undeniable.”
“They call you Big Baby because you don’t shut up. You need a pacifier.”
“I picked your name. Let’s teach him a lesson.”
Wardley mocked Miller’s decision to wear a Norwich City shirt at the event, referencing a past opponent who did the same—and was swiftly dealt with.
Miller: “I’m gonna make you cry, man.”
Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller (26-1-1, 22 KOs) wasn’t there to play games. The American heavyweight, who most recently fell short against Daniel Dubois, leaned into full villain mode:
“I’m gonna whoop your ass. You made a diss song? Where I come from that’s a death threat.”
“Google my name. I make people cry. Come Saturday night, I’m gonna make you cry, man.”
“I’ve been in people’s backyards before whooping ass. This is what I do.”
Miller also reminded everyone he took the Dubois fight on three weeks’ notice, insisting Wardley has never seen a fighter like him.
Frank Warren: “We want the stadium fight in June – not today!”
Promoter Frank Warren tried — and mostly failed — to keep order.
“It’s for the WBA Interim title between No.1 and No.4 in the division. It’s a very important fight. But can we please just show some decorum?”
Yeah, good luck with that.
Others Weigh In
Spencer Brown, Miller’s advisor, praised Wardley’s rise but warned he’s swimming with sharks now:
“Fabio is going into deep waters. Jarrell is, for me, the best heavyweight in America right now.”
DAZN’s Alfie Sharman was bullish on the matchup:
“Fabio is one of the most exciting heavyweights in world boxing. And we all know what Miller brings – in and out of the ring.”
