In April 2019, American heavyweight Jarrell Miller (25-0-1, 21 KOs) failed miserably in a doping test – traces of several illegal drugs were revealed in his results.
The fight scheduled for June with the unified division champion Briton Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) did not take place as expected, and promoter Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Boxing) urgently had to look for a replacement. The businessman is still angry with Miller. Hearn commented on the American’s comeback to boxing – he is still warming up on journeymen, trying to put himself in order.
“First of all, this dude still owes me money,”
approves the promoter. I actually liked him, spent a lot of time with him. But in the end I was thrown. He was always talked about behind the scenes as a cheater, but I’m used to not relying on rumors. Sometimes it seems to you that the best thing is to give the fighter the opportunity to shut up all the ill-wishers. But what he did is a blatant case of cheating. He tried to beat his opponent through doping. After all, he took not one illegal drug, but several at once. And we are talking about injections. Honestly? It seems to me that without doping he will not enter the ring.”
It’s funny that the other day Miller said that he would still seek a fight with Joshua. He also doesn’t mind fighting White. In his team they say that “this is a super fight.”
