Jarrell Miller expects fight with Tyson Fury at some point

Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller may have unbelievably blown his first opportunity at a world heavyweight title last year by failing three drug tests ahead of a June bout with Anthony Joshua, but boxing is a very forgiving sport with these things, and the charismatic and controversial heavyweight is preparing for his boxing return, now signed with Top Rank.

The obvious path there is for the 31-year-old Miller (23-0-1, 20 KO) to eventually fight WBC and LINEAL!!!!!! heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, and that’s exactly what Miller expects will happen sooner than later:

“I think that they were talking about it after Fury fighting Wilder again,” Miller told Sky Sports, adding, “I think that will be definitely in the future.”

Right now, there has been chatter about Miller facing veteran Carlos Takam (38-5-1, 28 KO), who is co-promoted by Top Rank and Star Boxing, but the whole sport is on hold for the foreseeable future, at least pretty much through June.

Miller, who has weighed in over 300 pounds for his last three bouts, hasn’t fought since Nov. 2018, when he stopped Bogdan Dinu in the fourth round, just a month after battering an ancient version of former light heavyweight and cruiserweight titleholder Tomasz Adamek.

Fury and Deontay Wilder are currently tentatively set for a third bout on Oct. 3.
