He has not fought since blasting out Romania’s Bogdan Dinu in November 2018.

Miller, 33, tested positive for the banned substance GW501516 – also known as cardarine and endurobol – ahead of his July 2020 bout with Jerry Forrest.

Big Baby also tested positive for a banned substance for a June 2014 kickboxing event in California and was suspended for nine months.

But his most high-profile controversy came before his proposed June 2019 unified heavyweight title fight with Anthony Joshua in New York.

Miller later failed three VADA tests and was replaced by Andy Ruiz Jr, who stunned AJ but lost the rematch six months later.

He is eligible to fight again in June, but must first record negative drug tests.

In an exclusive interview with SunSport in October, his promoter Dmitriy Salita declared Miller is eyeing up a future fight against Fury.

Sailta said: “That fight maybe the biggest heavyweight promotion in a long time. It can be very exciting.

“One step at a time but that would be tremendous.”
