The title bout is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the Vertu Motors Arena, Newcastle, United Kingdom.
Oyakojo enters the contest with a professional record of 10 wins, 6 losses and 2 draws, including six knockouts.
The Nigerian boxer is coming off a confidence-boosting unanimous decision victory in November 2025 and has built a reputation for resilience in high-profile bouts, particularly in Lagos, where he previously challenged for national honours.
For Miller, who boasts a 5-1-0 record with one knockout, the fight represents a significant step up in his career. Fighting on home soil, the British contender will be aiming to seize his first major international title and announce himself on the wider Commonwealth boxing stage.
The clash is part of a broader effort to re-establish Newcastle as a key destination for top-level boxing events, with the Vertu Motors Arena increasingly hosting high-profile, televised fight nights.
With the Commonwealth International belt at stake, the Oyakojo–Miller showdown promises to be a defining moment for both fighters, as Nigeria’s “Golden Boy” looks to make a strong statement abroad while Miller seeks glory in front of his home fans.
