Jarrell Miller again tested positive for performance-enhancing medications and subsequently canceled his rematch.
The undefeated heavyweight faced Anthony Joshua last June, but failed several drug tests, and Andy Ruiz Jr. took his place.
Miller had previously tested positive for GW1516, HGH and EPO, but claimed that he had never knowingly taken a banned substance
Now Miller has signed with Bob Arums Top Rank and should return against Jerry Forrest on July 9th.
However, it was first reported by Mike Coppinger that he tested positive again.
It goes without saying that this time the substance is GW1516 – one of the same drugs that appeared before the AJ cancellation.
Miller has been pulled out of the Forrest fight and his future in sports is now in great doubt.
The Nevada Athletic State Commission recently decided to license the 31-year-old to pave the way for his return.
Miller is 23-0-1 (20 KOs)
He hasn’t battled Bogdan Dinu since a win in November 2018 and is likely to be out of action indefinitely.
When Miller signed with Top Rank in January, he said, “Small setback for a big comeback.
“I come for everything and everyone. Nobody is safe. Say hello to the evil one.
“Everyone wants to portray the superhero. We don’t live in a sunny world.
“I will never be the superhero. In my world, the bad guy wins most of the time. “
