"Drug-cheat Jarrell Miller admits he had his "a** kicked" in Tyson Fury sparring"

Former world heavyweight title contender and drug-cheat Jarrell Miller has admitted that Tyson Fury "kicked his a**" in sparring.

The once highly regarded heavyweight was the original opponent for Anthony Joshua's American debut in July 2019. But after testing positive for a number of banned substances, he was forced out of the bout, making way for Any Ruiz Jr's historic win over the Brit at Madison Square Garden.

And Miller has now joined up with current world heavyweight champion Fury for his upcoming bout with Dillian Whyte. The American has joined as a sparring opponent after his main partner Jared Anderson was injured six weeks out from the event, where he was expected to feature on the undercard.

The American has wasted no time getting into it with Fury, admitting in an Instagram video after a workout “I got my ass kicked just a little bit today," before clarifying that "It's alright though - I’ve been off for a little while. Big Baby’s back!”

Miller's failed drug test against Joshua cost him the chance to compete in a major event, and salt was rubbed in his wounds when the late-notice replacement Ruiz shocked the world to become unified heavyweight champion. The New York native's fortunes didn't get much better either, as his planned comeback against Jerry Forrest was pulled due to another failed test.

Ahead of the Joshua fight, Miller tested positive for human growth hormone, EPO and GW501516. For the Forest bout, he again tested positive for GW501516. He also previously tested positive for methylhexaneamine ahead of a kick-boxing fight in 2014 and served a suspension for that infraction as well.

It remains to be seen if Miller will look to return to professional boxing when his suspension in the state of Nevada is up later this year. He was signed to Top Rank Boxing before the suspension, and must have a solid relationship with the promotion if they are allowing him to spar with one of their biggest stars in Fury.



Fury has also been sparring Martin Bakole ahead of his Wembley showdown with Whyte next month, and has former world champion Joseph Parker in camp with him. However, he has indicated that he and Parker do not spar and have said that they will pursue separate heavyweight belts as they both look for world titles in future.

Thoughts?

Miller makes Fury look slim.

Isnt fury a drug cheat too?

I'm not sure.

The BBBofC and UKAD cocked up the handling of the Tyson Fury doping offence, which the Gypsy King claimed was due to eating contaminated meat.

It was so bad that UKAD feared they’d either go insolvent or require a government bailout, if Fury sued for loss of earnings.

Here’s the timeline:

• February 2015: The sample that ultimately led to Tyson Fury being charged with a doping offence was taken (as confirmed by UKAD)
• June 2016: UKAD charges Fury with a doping offence
• May 2017: UKAD doping hearing is postponed, quashing hopes of July return
• December 2017: UKAD doping hearing finally goes ahead, with Fury able to resume his boxing career, due to the BBBofC agreeing to a compromise, caused by their poor handling of the situation, only issuing a backdated two-year ban, without a fine.

Tyson’s cousin, Hughie, tested positive for the same banned substance and was involved in the same hearing. He too was allowed to resume his boxing career.

It was clear that Fury wanted his license back and UKAD/BBBofC had cocked things up and were fearful of the potential costs of the legal proceeding, which they even admitted.

Tyson Fury could have contested the decision, but this would have cost him millions in lost earnings since it would have prevented his comeback.

But then the resulting lawsuit could have resulted in UKAD and the BBBofC going insolvent, due to their terrible handling of the situation.

So both sides stood to lose a lot of money, hence the compromise.

Even if Tyson Fury was genuinely guilty, it shouldn’t have taken almost three years for UKAD and the BBBofC to have proceeded with the hearing.

Another example of incompetence in British boxing (in addition to poor refs and judges).

He admitted doing cocaine and failed a vada test. I think thats on a banned list of substances

Miller might be a cheating bar steward, but he can fight and I would say that bringing him for sparring is a great idea for Team Fury.

Somewhat worrying that he's openly admitting to getting pasted in sparring though.

Whether it's because he's rusty, not sufficiently doped up or Fury is in sterling form, who knows?

It's going to be interesting times ahead if and when Miller does return though.

It will be interesting to see if he can fight clean or not.

Miller is a good choice of sparring partner leading up to a fight with Whyte.
They are close to the same size and Miller is a nice and soft, easy on the knuckles type of opponent.
It pleases me that this blatant drug cheat is reduced to being battered about the ring to earn a living.
His ban, and missing out on an enormous payday, and now being a paid punch bag will hopefully be a warning to other fighters to stay clean.

That's a "yes" then.

Just a wild guess, but EO won't admit he's wrong.

haha drug cheat , if i was miller i would change my story and say i was a drug tester,sounds better miller a drugs tester see sounds like a doctor

Oh yeah I forget about that blighter Miller, was a loudmouth for a while then never heard about him for a couple years until now.

Miller probably has a bodyfat % of about 40-45%, more than Andy Ruiz.

Light heavys trapped in HW bodys.

Miller was always going to get beaten at the top level. He was prime for the picking by Joshua at the time..
Him and his sparring partner Kownacki were puffed up and ready to be knocked over by the top tier fighters. Unfortunately for Kownacki he tripped and fell twice trying to get past Helenius and his big payday is out the window.
Miller might just get there though, and maybe that is why he hasn't been dropped by his promotion yet.
They may just feed him to a young lion like Anderson later on...

Tyson Fury chose to vacate his WBA & WBO titles and he didn’t lose his boxing license until the BBBofC stripped him of it due to the separate drug offence related to the steroid nandrolone.

Simply put: Tyson Fury wasn’t banned or stripped of his world titles due to the out-of-competition failed test related to cocaine.

Cocaine isn’t prohibited by WADA when it is taken out-of-competition.

I’m not really arguing with you, instead all I’m doing is conveying historical reality.

On a related note: do you seriously believe that cocaine enhances athletic performance and those that consume it are “cheats”?

That’s precisely what your words imply.

Sorry Lightie, but I'm going to have to call you out.
This time for using the incorrect emoticon.
In your last post that I have quoted, you used this emoticon on no less than two separate occasions -
When I'm pretty sure you intended to use this one-

Your welcome

No. We're talking exclusively about cocaine... and that drug doesn’t enhance athletic performance in any way.

It might cause extreme euphoria, but it doesn’t enhance athletic performance, hence the reason why it’s classed as a recreational drug.

I can point you to research claiming it actually adversely affects performance (i.e. reduces strength and reduces endurance).

Cocaine is only banned during competition to protect the health of athletes, because it's bloody dangerous.

But it is not banned out-of-competition though.

Are you still "not sure" Fury is a former drug cheat? Ignoring nandrolone and trying to desperately spin cocaine as legal. smh

Do you have reading comprehension issues?

If you've not been following the flow of the conversation, then butt out!

We've already discussed the nandrolone situation and moved onto the cocaine out-of-competition test.

Why do you even bother to comment if you're clueless about what's been discussed?

You're a lunatic troll that should be banned! All you do is constantly lie! "smh"
