JARRELL MILLER will return to the ring this week as part of a ‘KO Drugs’ festival just after his ban expires.
The Brooklyn heavyweight is set to return for the first time since November 2018 after a series of failed drugs tests.
And he now has a confirmed opponent for his bout this week as part of a WBA series to ‘KO Drugs’.
Miller, 33, will face Ariel Esteban Bracamonte in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Thursday.
He was due to face former world champion Anthony Joshua in 2019 at Madison Square Garden before Andy Ruiz Jr stepped in.
Miller has recently been in the UK to spar with Tyson Fury ahead of his win over Dillian Whyte.
