TYSON FURY has called out doping cheat Jarrell Miller to a fight on October 5 – but wants Trevor Bryan if Big Baby is still banned.
The Gypsy King, 30, returned to the ring last month for the first time since drawing with Deontay Wilder in December by smashing Tom Schwarz in two rounds.
Looking ahead to his next fight, planned for late autumn in New York, Fury called out Miller, who is serving a six-month suspension for tests failed before his planned fight against Anthony Joshua last month.
But with the American only eligible to box in December, Fury has named undefeated 29-year-old American Bryan as the man to face before rematching Wilder next year.
He said: “I’m fighting October the 5th. I’m hoping it’s going to be Jarrell Big Baby Miller.
“But I read today that he’s still on a six-months suspension as from June the 1st, October will only be four months.
“So maybe they won’t give him his licence so, if we can’t get Jarrell Miller then Trevor Bryan, I want you.”
Fury revealed he will rematch WBC king Wilder, 33, on February 22 in the US having been desperately unlucky not to have received the decision in Los Angeles last year.
The Bronze Bomber first rematches southpaw Luis Ortiz, with the Cuban almost beating Wilder in March 2017 before being knocked out in round ten.
Fury wants a similarly tough test before his February rematch with Wilder and is looking improve on the under-matched opposition Schwarz provided last month.

Fury added: “I’ll fight anybody, I’m not really bothered, I just want a fight, a 12-round fight and with the toughest opponent I can find.
“Because I need another tough fight for that for that Wilder fight February 22, because Wilder‘s having a good fight with Ortiz and Ortiz took him 11 (sic 10) rounds before.
“So I need a durable opponent to give me some rounds.”
