Wardley, who is a lifelong Ipswich Town fan, had secured a dream venue for his clash against American contender Miller, with the winner lining up a shot at the WBA 'regular' heavyweight belt which is currently held by Kubrat Pulev.
Miller drew with former unified champion Andy Ruiz Jr last August, a hard-fought battle that many felt was edged by the Brooklyn man, while Wardley inflicted a brutal first-round knockout on Frazer Clarke in their October rematch.
