Anthony Joshua’s US Debut Set To Be Cancelled As His Opponent ‘Big Baby’ Fails Drug Test

Nigerian heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua may not have his American debut as his supposed opponent Jarell “Big Baby” Miller has reportedly failed a drug test. Anthony was scheduled to fight Miller at New York’s Madison Square Garden on the 1st of June. According to ESPN, the 30-year-old boxer, Jarell Miller tested positive for banned muscle growth substance GW1516 on March 20. A second test is now in the works. The implication of this is that Joshua may end up not having his US debut or may have to compete with another. Promoter Eddie Hearn is currently searching for another heavyweight to combat Anthony just six weeks to go. Hearn tweeted this morning that: “We have been informed by VADA that there has been an adverse finding in Jarrell Miller’s sample collected on March 20th, 2019. We are working with all relevant parties and will update with more details soon. AJ’s preparation continues for June 1st at MSG.”Photo Credit: Getty
