Jarrell Miller<\/a> is looking for a fight again.
The heavyweight contender announced through his Instagram account Thursday that his scheduled fight with Michael Hunter<\/a> has been canceled. Brooklyn\u2019s Miller (26-1-2, 22 KOs) and Las Vegas\u2019 Hunter (24-1-2, 17 KOs) were set to headline a card DAZN will stream Sept. 11 from Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
Miller-Hunter was to be showcased during the fight week buildup toward the Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford card<\/a> Netflix and YouTube will stream Sept. 13 from nearby Allegiant Stadium.<\/p>\n

Miller, 37, posted a letter he received along with his statement in which \u201clegal and regulatory\u201d issues were cited as the reasons his fight with Hunter, also 37, couldn\u2019t take place.<\/p>\n

This marked the second time in the past three months Miller\u2019s scheduled fight didn\u2019t take place.<\/p>\n

He was supposed to battle British contender Fabio Wardley<\/a> on June 7 at Portman Road Football Ground in Wardley\u2019s hometown of Ipswich, England. Miller withdrew from that bout because of a shoulder injury.
Wardley (19-0-1, 18 KOs) spectacularly knocked out Miller\u2019s replacement, Australia\u2019s Justis Huni <\/a>(12-1, 7 KOs), in the 10th round.<\/p>\n

Miller hasn\u2019t fought since he faced former unified heavyweight champ Andy Ruiz (35-2-1, 22 KOs) to a 12-round majority draw in August of last year at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Miller\u2019s last fight in Las Vegas fell apart on short notice as well. The Nevada State Athletic Commission removed him from a fight with Jerry Forrest that was supposed to take place in June 2020 because Miller failed a pre-fight test for performance-enhancing drugs.<\/p>\n

The besmirched Miller has fought just five times in the six years since he tested positive for four banned substances prior to his scrapped shot at then-undefeated unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Miller was undefeated when he signed a contract to challenge Joshua at Madison Square Garden in New York in June 2019.<\/p>\n

Ruiz replaced Miller on approximately five weeks\u2019 notice and upset Joshua by seventh-round technical knockout.<\/p>\n
