Jarrell Miller did his best to rile up Daniel Dubois ahead of the pair's crunch fight at the Day of Reckoning in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
The pair will go head-to-head in a highly-anticipated bout on a stacked card in the Middle East and clashed at the weigh-in as Miller pushed Dubois with the two having to be separated by security.
It appeared that words were said in their face-off, with security and promoter Frank Warren wary to get in between the two before they had even stepped forward to go face-to-face.
Miller then seemed to try and goad his opponent, who is the favorite for the fight and looking to bounce back from a controversial defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August.
Dubois appeared unfazed, and Miller pushed him, with Dubois seemingly keen to react but held back by security with Miller also withheld.
While the altercation at the weigh-in caught the eye of spectators, the weights themselves also raised eyebrows.
Miller came in at a staggering 333 pounds, a weight considered remarkable for a man of his height - the American standing at 6ft 4in.
Dubois, meanwhile, came in at a much lower 239 pounds, meaning there was nearly 100 pounds difference in weight between the two fighters.
Dubois is the favorite to win the bout, with Miller looking to continue to try and rebuild his reputation again following another positive doping test and ban, which expired last year.
Nevertheless, 'Big Baby' remains undefeated in his career, with just one draw on his record alongside 26 career wins.
He has made headlines all week in the build-up to the bout, though it was 'DDD' who started the verbals on Thursday, telling Miller that he was his ‘daddy’ and that he was going to prove that on Saturday night.
Miller also exchanged words with promoter Eddie Hearn in the build-up to the fight, with the 35-year-old exclaiming: ‘I want Eddie to ask me some questions. I didn’t realize he was taking the hosting job over. Ask me some questions, Eddie. Go ahead. Come on.’
Hearn replied: ‘I don’t know, you went a bit quiet when Daniel stuck it on you earlier. I’ve never seen you lost for words. I like you, you’re my friend but I’m doing the ring walk with Daniel on Saturday.'
