Jarrell Miller takes his first steps back into boxing fold

Jarrell Miller, who threw away a chance to fight Anthony Joshua when he tested positive for PEDs, is working his way back into the sport.

Jarrell Miller is getting the red carpet treatment.

Not even six months out from his PED bust, the disgraced heavyweight contender has signed with noted manager James Prince, the fighter announced recently on his Instagram.

The news comes on the heels of a reported multi-year deal being mulled between Miller and Top Rank. Prince, also a music executive, currently manages Top Rank-promoted 126-pound titleholder Shakur Stevenson and Bryant Jennings. He is best known in boxing for managing the career of Andre Ward.

Miller drew headlines when he tested positive multiple times for banned substances leading up to his June 1 fight against Anthony Joshua. Aside from losing out on what would have been a career high payday, reported to be $6.5 million, Miller was stripped of his license in New York and banned for six months by the WBA.

Should Miller sign with Top Rank, he will join a heavyweight stable that includes Tyson Fury and Kubrat Pulev.

Miller (23-0-1, 20 knockouts) hasn’t fought since a fourth-round knockout of Bogdan Dinu in November of last year.
