But the Nevada State Athletic Commission have now cleared Miller to fight just over two years on.
They said in a statement to Sky Sports: “Jarrell Miller was granted a 2022 Professional Boxers license which will expire at the end of the year.”
Miller, 34, infamously failed three Voluntary Anti-Doping Association pre-fight drug tests before he was set to fight Anthony Joshua in 2019.
He blamed his failed test before fighting AJ on a tainted supplement and stem cell shots in his elbow.
Joshua, 33, went on to suffer a shock loss, the first of his career, against stand-in Andy Ruiz Jr, 33.
Miller in 2020 earned a contract with Bob Arum’s Top Rank stable but again tested positive for a banned substance.
This time the ex-kickboxer put it down to a SEX PILL and was handed a two-year suspension.
Miller enrolled in VADA testing in December 2020 and has returned clean drug tests since, which saw him able to return this summer.

Here are the Essential Skills of Boxing
How to box effectively
Boxing is the most loved sport in the world. It is a fight between two opponents. There are different rules for boxing, and they vary from one country to the next. There are three main types of boxing: Amateur boxing, Professional boxing, and Olympic boxing.
Amateur boxing is usually practiced at school, college or university. This type includes sparring sessions using padded gloves, but without protection. Usually amateur boxing competitions consist of three rounds of five minutes each. There are many types of amateur boxing: Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
Most professional boxing takes place in gyms, clubs, and stadiums. They have protective equipment such as mouthpieces. Professional boxing competitions have six rounds that last four minutes each. There are many types of professional boxing. These include Boxing (MMA), Kickboxing (Mixed Martial Arts), Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
Olympic boxing is performed at the Olympics. Special protective gear must be worn by boxers to ensure compliance with international standards. Each round lasts three minutes and is made up of eight rounds. There are only two styles of Olympic boxing; Light Flyweight and Heavyweight.
The basic skills of boxing are:
- Techniques for punching
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- Move your body
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spares
Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch comes with its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination may have multiple parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.
Hands
Boxers use their arms to stop incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many options for stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This involves changing position, speed and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Sparring
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
