Jarrell Miller and Lenier Pero are set to face off on April 25th in Las Vegas. The bout will headline a Matchroom Boxing event at Fontainebleau.
Miller (27-1-2, 22 KOs) returns to the ring after a points win over Kingsley Ibeh in January. Pero (13-0, 8 KOs), an undefeated Cuban fighter ranked No. 2 by the WBA, looks to continue his ascent in the heavyweight division.
Pero is coming off a UD 10th victory over Jordan Thompson on November 1, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, where he won the WBA Continental Latin America heavyweight title.
Miller aims to re-establish himself in the heavyweight ranks after a controversial past. Eddie Hearn alluded to a change of heart regarding working with Miller again.
Pero’s Opportunity
Pero seeks a signature win against a well-known opponent. His previous notable victory came in 2023 when he stopped then-unbeaten Viktor Vykhryst in eight rounds.
It has been reported that light heavyweight Ben Whittaker was rumored to be on the undercard, though it seems more likely he will instead appear in Liverpool, England, on April 18th when Matchroom’s Callum Smith takes on David Morrell.
