Heavyweight boxing contender Jarrell Miller fails drug test for fifth time

You truly could not make this up.

According to The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger, heavyweight boxing contender Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller has reportedly tested positive for PEDs once again. He was scheduled to make his Top Rank Boxing debut against Jerry Forrest on July 9th, but obviously that is not happening.

Miller (23-0-1 NC, 20 KOs) famously was supposed to be Anthony Joshua’s opponent for his United States debut last year. Miller not only popped for GW1516 (Endurabol), which initially pulled him from the fight, he also tested positive for HGH and EPO. That PED triple crown cost Miller at least $5 million in purse money and paved the way for Andy Ruiz to step in and pull off the shocking upset.
