The announcement we could access does not give a venue, an undercard, a title status, a round count or ticket details. Those have not been confirmed in the sources we checked, and this article will be updated when they are.

Matchroom's second show in Ghana

The card follows Matchroom's first West African show, held in Accra on December 20, 2025. The Ring reported in October 2025 that Eddie Hearn had agreed a deal for that event. Matchroom's own announcement placed it at Accra's Legon Sports Stadium, in association with Legacy Rise Promotions. Craig Richards headlined that night and stopped Dan Azeez in the 12th round, according to Tapology.

Boxinghana and Upfront MMA had both reported in late October that Miller was expected to top a Matchroom bill in Ghana on December 20. Those reports cited sources and named no opponent, so Wednesday's announcement is the first official word on who he will face.

Miller's recent fights

Jarrell Miller, nicknamed 'Big Baby', is a New York heavyweight signed to Matchroom. According to Boxinghana, he beat Kingsley Ibeh by split decision in January 2026. He then beat Lenier Pero by unanimous decision in April, a result that Boxinghana says took him to number one in the WBA rankings. Miller is 38, and he has a history of failed doping tests that is well documented.

Yoka's record

Tony Yoka, a 34-year-old Frenchman, won super heavyweight gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. His Queensberry profile lists a professional record of 16 wins and 3 losses with 12 knockouts. His losses came against Martin Bakole (2022), Carlos Takam (2023) and Ryad Merhy (2023). Queensberry lists his most recent bout as a six-round points win over Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko at Manchester's AO Arena on November 7, 2026. Before that, he knocked out Patrick Korte in the first round in Lagos, Nigeria, on December 21, 2025.

What is still unknown

Matchroom has not yet said whether any belt or ranking position is at stake, or who else will fight on the Accra card. Miller's WBA ranking is as reported by Boxinghana and was not confirmed by the WBA in the sources we checked.
