The highly touted Rivera (18-0, 12 KOs) was born in Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic and now fights out of Miami, Fla. The 22-year-old burst
onto the scene in his U.S. debut in June 2019 on *ShoBox: The New
Generation*, handing René Téllez Girón his first career loss in one of his
three victories that year. Rivera stepped up again in competition in his
2020 debut, stopping Fidel Maldonado Jr. in round 10 of their February
clash.

Fighting out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, the Memphis-born
Miller (21-1, 6 KOs) has put together an impressive 11-bout winning streak
since losing a six-round decision in 2016. The 27-year-old picked up a win
over current 130-pound champion Jamel Herring in 2017, and last July he
defeated former world champion Jezreel Corrales by decision. Most recently,
Miller dominated Marcos Leonardo Jimenez on his way to a unanimous decision
victory in February of this year.
