Anthony Joshua's Former Boxing Rival Arrested for Hollywood Carjacking
Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller, most well known for antagonizing Anthony Joshua in 2018, has been arrested for carjacking and burglary with assault in Hollywood on January 3.
According to reports, the incident took place at a car dealership on Tuesday, January 1, where an employee claimed a woman had left her mobile phone in a recently repossessed truck. Miller then grabbed the employee from behind when they went to reclaim the keys, putting them in a chokehold. Miller then allegedly slammed the employee on the ground and stole the truck.
The vehicle was installed with a tracker and Miller was shortly arrested. "Big Baby" was charged with carjacking without a weapon and burglary with assault.
"He enlisted the assistance of another individual to create a ruse to distract the employee," Assistant State Attourney Eric Linder remarked. "...He knew what the plan was going into this business --- to get his car back."
The judge overseeing the hearing agreed, "..."The level of force that was used, as well as the manner in which the offense took place, the court does find probable cause as to both counts."
Miller entered the public perception when he was booked against Anthony Joshua in 2018. The fight would fall through when Miller tested for a cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs - Joshua would go on to lose to his replacement opponent Andy Ruiz Jr.
Standing at 6'4 and weighing in at 333 lbs for his last bout, Miller was a heavyweight among heavyweights. He most recently fought at "The Day of Reckoning" in Riyadh on December 23, where he was thoroughly outmatched and TKO'd by Daniel Dubois.
