Anthony Joshua's former rival Jarrell 'big baby' Miller weighed in 42lb, or three-stone, heavier than his opponent Antonio Zepeda ahead of their exhibition bout tomorrow night.

Miller is in the process of clawing his way back into heavyweight relevance after the shame of failing multiple drug tests for a series of banned substances ahead of his planned bout with Anthony Joshua in 2019. He last competed in March when he knocked out Lucas Browne, and is due to face Zepeda in Florida tomorrow evening in a tune-up exhibition that won't count on his record.

Zepeda is a teammate of the legendary Floyd Mayweather, who is facing notorious gangster's son John Gotti III in the main event of tomorrow night's show. And despite being two-foot taller than the controversial former contender, he tipped the scales at 283lb while Miller was 325lb.

"I'll do kickboxing, MMA, I'lI chef it up, I do anything to stay busy," Miller said after the weigh-in. "So we're going to go in there and have some fun. He's a young, hungry guy, I'm still young, still hungry and we're looking for Tyson Fury after this so we're just going to go in there, have some fun and put on an entertaining show.

"I'm going to go and do what I do, cook some cheeseburgers. He's an undefeated guy he's going to come in there and throw punches at me so it's real. Don't think we're going in there to pitty pat, we're going to have some fun at the same time. I know he has longevity in his career, I have longevity in my career.

"So there's respect there at the same time but we both know where our careers are going. I've got to do what I've got to do, he's got to do what he's got to do."

The series of failed drug tests which cost Miller a multi-million dollar payday saw him test positive for substances such as HGH, EPO and cardarine, a metabolic modulator that promotes fat loss and significantly increases endurance. He ended up being out of action for four years before returning in Argentina last summer. Since returning he has gone 3-0 with two knockouts.
