Jarrell Miller aims for WBA title shot against Murat Gassiev

Jarrell Miller is seeking a shot at the WBA heavyweight title held by Murat Gassiev. Gassiev has expressed interest in fighting Miller, who is currently ranked No. 2 by the WBA, following his recent victory over Lenier Pero in April. Although the WBA clarified that Miller is not a mandatory challenger, Gassiev indicated that if certain conditions are met, the matchup could happen. Meanwhile, Moses Itauma, the WBA No. 1 contender, is set to compete for the IBF title on August 19, potentially paving the way for Miller's title opportunity thereafter.
