Through his publicist Alvina Alston, heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller released the following statement about his positive test for a banned performance enhancing substance ahead of a scheduled, but now in-doubt June 1st heavyweight title challenge vs. Anthony Joshua: "I want to thank all of my supporters who have stood by me since day one and especially during this extremely difficult time. I have not been tuned in to social media and any other media outlets to focus and channel all of my energies into working hard with no distractions. I am absolutely devastated upon hearing the news my boxing license has been revoked in New York state and I will be vigorously appealing this decision. I have NEVER knowingly taken any banned substance and when I found out the news, I was totally shocked. My team and I stand for integrity, decency and honesty and together we will stand to fight this with everything we have. This was a voluntarily test that I was very happy to do and these results came just one week after another voluntarily test that I had taken which was completely clean. I refuse to just lie down and let my dream be taken away from me when I know in my heart that I’ve done nothing wrong. Fifteen years of hard work and I’m WARRIOR .. I don’t need a banned substance. Remember don’t believe everything you hear and see. The facts will prevail and I shall be vindicate. I don’t have anything to hide and the truth will make itself known."
