Daniel Dubois will bid to return to winning ways on Anthony Joshua's undercard in Saudi Arabia tonight as he takes on AJ's former rival Jarrell Miller.

Dynamite suffered a second defeat in his professional career after a ninth-round knockout defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August.

Dubois dropped Usyk in the fifth round but the Ukrainian recovered to retain his WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles in Poland.

'DDD' appealed to have his defeat changed to a no-contest after the controversial call to deem the body shot that dropped Usyk to have been a low blow but it was rejected by the WBA.

The Brit will now hope to retain his standing in the heavyweight title scene by facing undefeated American Miller.

'Big Baby' is 3-0 since his return to the ring following a 43-month absence for failing multiple drug tests.

Miller was infamously in line to face AJ in 2019 before his first failed test, which opened the door for late replacement Andy Ruiz Jr to produce one of boxing's greatest-ever shocks.

Dubois vs Miller: What has been said?

Miller: “Thank you, Daniel Dubois, for being the dummy to sign the contract, because I’m gonna beat yo’ ass.

“There’s a saying we have in New York, we smell b**** in him. Once the bitch is in you, it ain’t going nowhere.

“He quit against Joe Joyce. He got beat up and knocked out by a jab by [two-division champ Oleksandr] Usyk.

"Those are small guys. Well, Joyce is big but he ain’t Big Baby big.”
