Jarrell Miller has failed a drug test ahead of his June 1st fight with Anthony Joshua at Madison Square Garden.

The failed test came from a sample collected by the Voluntary Anti Doping Association on March 20th. ESPN report that the substance for which Miller tested positive is known as Cardarine and Endurobol. It could be used as a fat burner and to increase endurance.

Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, said that his fighter is continuing his preparations for what is scheduled to be his US debut.
