Heavyweight up-and-comer Jarrell Big Baby Miller will face the most notable opponent of his career when he takes on Fred Kassi on Aug. 19. Theyll meet at Rhinos Stadium, an outdoor soccer venue in Rochester, New York, the hometown of Millers manager, Steve Nelson.The scheduled 10-round bout will headline a tripleheader on Showtimes ShoBox: The New Generation series (10 p.m. ET/PT) that will also include two other 10-round fights: Nikolay Potapov (14-0-1, 6 KOs), of Russia, against Clevelands Antonio Nieves (16-0-1, 8 KOs) in a meeting of bantamweight prospects; and welterweight knockout artist Bakhtiyar Eyubov (10-0, 10 KOs), a Brooklyn, New York-based Kazakhstan native, taking on San Franciscos Karim Mayfield (19-3-1, 11 KOs).This is an amazing opportunity, Miller said. Im in the main event going against a tough opponent, and hes definitely game to fight.Im ready to put his lights out like I do everybody else. I know hes durable and a little older than me. Hes a tough guy, and he can take a beating. So far, hes only been stopped once. Ill be the second.Miller knows what he needs to focus on leading up to the fight.Im going back to basics in this camp. Im an advanced fighter, but there are a couple of things Ive wanted to work on, Miller said. Its easy for heavyweights to rely on power and forget about technique. You see what happened to Dominic Breazeale against Anthony Joshua [in a June 25 world title bout]? His power didnt mean jack because there was no technique behind it. I want to be the kind of fighter who puts his technique first and power last.The 27-year-old Miller (17-0-1, 15 KOs), of Brooklyn, New York, will be fighting for the eighth time since the beginning of 2015 and is coming off a one-sided second-round knockout of Nick Guivas on May 27.Kassi (18-5-1, 10 KOs), a New Orleans-based Cameroon native, is 0-3-1 in his past four bouts, but in each time he has faced off against a reputable opponent in a tough fight. His most recent bout was a seventh-round technical decision against Hughie Fury, the cousin of heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, in April that ended when Fury suffered a cut from an accidental head clash and could not continue.The other opponents in the stretch included former world title challengers Breazeale and Chris Arreola as well as Amir Mansour. Kassi drew with Arreola in a fight many thought he deserved to win.I approach Jarrell like all young fighters, Kassi said. Im a seasoned pro that has fought top-tier opponents. Jarrell will have to bring his A-game against me.Hes got size and power, but its nothing I havent seen. Im tired of getting robbed by judges like in El Paso [against Arreola] and in Alabama [against Breazeale]. That should have been me fighting Anthony Joshua in the O2 [Arena]. Against Fury, the cut saved him. Another round or two and he would have been done.Kassi finds motivation in how others have viewed his recent fights.We heard what we always hear, Oh, Fury had a bad night, so did Breazeale, so did Arreola. They all seem to have bad nights when Im in the other corner, Kassi said. Im hoping to actually get some credit when Miller has a bad night, too. Im a heavyweight boxer, thats boxer underlined. I move my feet, I use angles, I hit and dont get hit. Thats boxing, and its my art. Boxing fans are going to have a great time watching me dismantle a giant.Eyubov, 29, is taking a big step up in competition after tearing through his first 10 foes, all inside three rounds. Mayfield, 35, is vastly experienced, although he is coming off a one-sided 10-round decision to Dmitry Mikhaylenko on short notice on Jan. 30.I am very happy to be back on Showtime fighting the best opponent of my career, Eyubov said. I know this will be my hardest fight to date, and thats what motivates me. I am grateful that I am getting an opportunity to prove myself, and I want to show that I am ready for the best fighters in the world. I am ready for the boxing world to know my name. Aug. 19, Karim Mayfield, here I come.Potapov, 25, is coming off a 10-round majority draw against unbeaten Stephon Young on April 15.

Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week.Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batsman Niroshan Dickwella credited his teams seamers for holding their nerve against a big-hitting West Indian lower order after Sri Lanka pulled off a one-run win to secure their place in the final of the Zimbabwe tri-series. Dickwella was one of two Sri Lankans to reach the 90s in a total of 330 for 7 before Sri Lanka held West Indies to 329 for 9 in reply.Our bowlers held their nerve, and our fast bowlers did really well, Dickwella said. Suranga [Lakmal], [Nuwan] Kulasekara and Nuwan Pradeep - they were the key players in defending this total. We were confident of defending the score, with our bowling attack. We missed some opportunities that we should have capitalized on, but fortunately we were on the winning side on the end.Evin Lewis, the West Indies opener, survived two early lbw shouts and was also dropped twice during the first Powerplay in an uncharacteristically sloppy fielding effort by Sri Lanka. Lewis was dropped again off a tough chance at mid-on before he had reached fifty, and he went on to score a maiden hundred. He might have been run out shortly thereafter, but Dickwella disturbed the stumps with his glove before collecting the ball.That was one of his few lapses in the field or with the bat - after his 94 in the morning he eventually ran Lewis out for 148 - to increase Sri Lankas advantage at the death. Dickwella then held on to an awkward inside edge off Ashley Nurses bat in the penultimate over of the match.It is kind of a challenge [batting up the order and keeping wicket], but you just have to adapt to the situation, and play according to that, Dickwella saidd.dddddddddddd Im a wicketkeeper-batsman, and when I score runs when were batting first, I still have to keep wicket for 50 overs. Obviously I have to do that, for my team.Batting at No. 3, Dickwella was at the crease in the third over of the match and fell 36 overs later just six runs short of what would have been a maiden ODI hundred in his fifth match.It was a good track, he said. Since the morning, it was a flat track. There was a bit of grass, but it was dead grass, so we didnt expect it to move a lot. We thought it would move a bit, but that didnt happen.It was coming on to the bat. It was a pretty easy wicket to bat on, compared to the previous games. I could have got a hundred, and scored some more runs for the team, but Im really happy with my performance today.Performances such as these will help Dickwella state his claim for a spot in Sri Lankas touring party for their trip to South Africa in December. He is one of a number of fringe players who have come in to Sri Lankas squad in the absence of injured senior players such as Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal.Some of the senior players back in Sri Lanka, Angelo Mathews and Chandimal, theyre recovering. Theyve started training again. The selectors must be picking up some juniors from this tour for the big upcoming tour, so this is a good opportunity for the juniors to perform and show them that we are good, talented players. This is a good opportunity to play, perform and win even if we dont have those seniors with us. ' ' '
