Anthony Joshua’s United States debut has hit a potential snag.
ESPN’s Dan Rafael reported on Tuesday evening that Jarrell Miller (23-0-1, 20 KOs) has tested positive for GW1516, which might be someone’s license plate number, but it’s also an actual banned substance. Miller was scheduled to fight Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) for the Brit’s WBO, IBF, and WBA titles in a DAZN-streamed main event on June 1st at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The drug test was administered by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), not by the athletic commission, so Miller’s status is very much up in the air with just six weeks to go before fight night.
