Jarrell Miller granted provisional boxing licence by Nevada State Athletic Commission

Jarrell Miller has been granted a provisional boxing licence by Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Miller was previously suspended ahead of his scheduled fight on July 9, 2020 against Jerry Forrest by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

• Jumah: 'I still believe I can beat Riakporhe now'

Miller denied "willingly" taking a performance-enhancing drug after reports of a failed drug test ruined plans for the bout in Las Vegas.

The Brooklyn heavyweight was also denied a licence to fight Anthony Joshua by the New York State Athletic Commission in 2019, following an adverse finding from a drugs test in March of the same year.

Miller admitted he "messed up" in a contrite video message posted on Instagram, saying he would "come back better".

Miller's participation for his Joshua bout was already under threat after the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) informed both camps of an adverse finding in a drug-testing sample, leading to him being denied a licence for the date at Madison Square Garden.

The unbeaten 34-year-old resumed his career earlier this year with two low-profile wins in Buenos Aires and Tennessee.

But Miller has now been cleared to fight in Las Vegas in the next few months.

A statement from Nevada State Athletic Commission to Sky Sports said: "Jarrell Miller was granted a 2022 Professional Boxers license which will expire at the end of the year."
