Miller vs. Yoka Set for Dec. 20 in Accra, Matchroom's Final 2026 Show

Jarrell Miller will face Tony Yoka in a heavyweight bout on Sunday, Dec. 20 at The Grand Arena at the Accra International Conference Centre in Accra, Ghana, live worldwide on DAZN.

Matchroom Boxing, announcing what it called its final show of 2026, is promoting the card — billed as “The Showdown II” — alongside Legacy Rise Sports, in association with BXG and Queensberry Promotions. It is Matchroom's second show in Ghana, after Craig Richards vs. Dan Azeez in Accra in December 2025. No title is attached to Miller vs. Yoka.

“This is a serious fight and one that will cap an incredible month of Heavyweight boxing,” Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn said in Matchroom's release. “Jarrell Miller is ranked No.1 in the world, and a win over a tough, former Olympic Champion in Tony Yoka will undoubtedly set him up for some major nights ahead in 2027. It will be an absolute war.” Hearn also pointed to Fury vs. Joshua in Cardiff the weekend before, where Wilder vs. Opetaia is the co-main event, and to David Adeleye and Leo Atang boxing in Monte-Carlo the following night.

Miller is the WBA's No. 1-ranked heavyweight after a split decision over Kingsley Ibeh and a decision over Lenier Pero in April. Yoka, the 2016 Rio Olympic gold medalist, returned from nearly a year out with a six-round decision over Kostiantyn Dovbyshchenko in Manchester, a result confirmed by Queensberry, Boxing News and BoxingNews24. Matchroom's written release still described a first-round stoppage of Patrick Korte in Nigeria a year ago as Yoka's last outing.

According to Matchroom's announcement, the undercard includes Ghanaian light heavyweights Jonathan Tetteh (12-0, 11 KOs) and Elvis Ahorgah (15-4, 13 KOs), Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Samuel Takyi (9-0, 9 KOs) at lightweight, unbeaten super flyweight Theo Allotey (15-0, 11 KOs), Liverpool super welterweight Odel Kamara, cruiserweight Divine Omojor, and Dutch lightweight Jursly Vargas (10-0, 9 KOs), who returns to Accra after stopping Isaac Dowuona there in April. Matchroom said Kamara, 22, whose mother is Ghanaian, scored a third-round stoppage on his professional debut last month, and that Omojor also won by knockout on his debut in Sheffield last month. The official announcement graphic also names Jerry Lartey; the written release did not include bout details for him and said further undercard announcements would follow.
