JARRELL MILLER’S trainer has revealed the drugs cheat “did things” he wasn’t supposed to in camp for his scrapped fight against Anthony Joshua.
Miller’s world came crashing down when he failed two tests for three banned substances ahead of his world title shot.
He was banned from boxing for six months and also missed out on a career-high payday of £7million for the AJ scrap.
The New Yorker claimed his failed tests came from a tainted supplement and stem-cell treatment for his elbow, which was injured.
Joshua, of course, went on to be the victim of one of boxing’s biggest ever shocks when he was KOd by late replacement and now unified champ Andy Ruiz Jr.
But now in an explosive interview with Boxing News, Miller’s trainer Harry Keitt has revealed some shady dealings from the training camp.
He claimed that he told Miller “not to do certain things” but that ‘Big Baby’ “did them anyway”.
He also states that the boxer seemed “hell bent on cheating” – so was hardly surprised when the fight was canned and Miller banned.
MILLER VS FURY NEXT?
Incredibly despite disgracing the sport, Miller is one name being linked with a heavyweight dust-up against Tyson Fury– another fighter who has admitted taking drugs.
After wowing Las Vegas with his two-round demolition of Tom Schwarz on June 15, Fury is set to meet fans on the East Coast of the country, with New York the most likely host.
And 6ft 4in Brooklyn loudmouth Miller fits the bill.
Fury’s promoter Frank Warren previously said: “I make it very clear that I’m anti drugs.
“But if they’re giving out six month bans, like they did for Miller and Canelo, how is that going to make any impact on any youngsters who are going to take stuff?
“If you are going to put guys out of the sport then you got to really, really take drastic action.
REACHES OUT TO WHYTE
“I don’t police the sport so if someone has a licence then I will use their services. I’m not there to police it, that is what we pay governing bodies for.
“If he’s [Miller] licenced then he is licenced. Should he be licenced? That’s another story. If you want to be taken seriously as a governing body then police the sport properly.”
Miller has recently lent his support to Dillian Whyte, the British heavyweight who allegedly “tested positive for banned substances”.
He said: “I know with the whole Whyte situation, they blasted me when my whole news came out and had a lot to say.

“The last couple weeks and months me and Whyte got in contact with each other and just been talking.
“I honestly ain’t got nothing bad to say about Dillian Whyte. He’s a good dude, he’s a brother, he’s funny, he’s a warrior and in this sport of boxing things happen.
Whyte was banned from boxing for two years in 2012 after he tested positive for Methylhexaneamine, despite not knowingly taking the drug, which was contained in a nutritional supplement.
