Cohen claimed Miller enrolled in December 2020 with no problems so far and that he defended sparring sessions against Fury.
He stated that he wasn't surprised by the criticism because there are a lot of haters and Jarrell has given them reasons to accept their position.
"But, Tyson Fury, the heavyweight champion in the world, is fighting Dillian Whyte in a huge fight before nearly 100,000 people.
"If Tyson Fury feels Jarrell Miller is the right sparring partner to get ready for his big fight then that's his business.
"I find it absurd that people criticize Tyson for this.
"He brought Jarrell in to help him prepare."
Cohen claimed that Miller had also taken educational courses and been treated by a therapist following his steroid controversy.
