Tyson Fury has revealed that he has been training with controversial heavyweight Jarrell Miller ahead of his fight with Dillian Whyte next month. Set to be Fury's final fight of his illustrious career should he stay true to his word, Fury has now started his training camp as he aims to defend his WBC belt against Whyte in an all-British blockbuster clash that is set to be held at Wembley Stadium.
In preparation to face Whyte, Fury has begun training, sparring with a controversial figure, Miller, who is currently serving a two-year boxing ban. Miller failed multiple drugs tests, which saw him miss out on a 2019 title shot against Anthony Joshua.
Miller would then fail another pre-fight drug test, this time before he was due to take on Jerry Forrest in 2020. He tested positive for Endurobol – the same drug that he had tested positive for the previous year. Endurobol is shown to dramatically improve physical performance and is a banned substance.

And speaking after their sparring session, Miller revealed exactly how the rounds between them went. He said: "I got my ass kicked just a little bit today! It's alright though - I’ve been off for a little while. Big Baby’s back!”
Miller is expected to return later this year when his ban has been fully served, joining a loaded heavyweight class alongside the likes of Fury, Joshua, Whyte, Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz, Joseph Parker, Luis Ortiz and more.
Fury was originally scheduled to spar with Jared Anderson, but the American suffered an injury and will now not fight on the undercard as originally planned. Fury has also been sparring Martin Bakole and Joseph Parker ahead of his Wembley showdown.
Whyte secured his WBC mandatory title shot after knocking out Alexander Povetkin last March, while Fury retained his belt with an 11th-round knockout of Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight in October.
The fight will take place under the Wembley arch with a record purse bid and in front of a capacity crowd in what could be the biggest British boxing fight of the 21st century so far.
