He'll probably say it was caused by the painkiller for his foot.

This looks like a very murky case, and it's all thanks to UK Anti Doping. A couple of years ago they had a take no prisoners attitude to cheats but then that facade started to crack when they told boxer Larry Olubamiwo that if he provided evidence going towards busting another boxer, Craig Windsor Jr, they would waive his suspension. He basically showed them a Facebook conversation between the two of fighters, and that was enough for them.
Tony Thompson failed to declare to the British Boxing Board Of Control and UK Anti Doping of his use of a blood pressure medication that is banned in the UK without prescription, prior to his rematch with David Price (He did declare his usage prior to their first fight and was given the OK to compete), so he came up as pissing hot but all he had to do was appeal against his punishment and due to some draconian UK law that UKAD abide by, the failure was not allowed to be revealed until AFTER his appeal had run out of legal rope (he continually asked for more time to gather facts until his provisional one year, UK wide only suspension had run it's course then decided he wanted to drop the case, essentially getting away with it. He competed in Germany twice whilst the suspension that nobody knew about was ongoing).
Kid Galahad (real name Abdul Barry Awad) pissed hot for Nandrolone but saw his suspension cut short by six months when UKAD agreed that a sworn affidavit from his brother, claiming that following a domestic argument he somehow contaminated the boxer's sports drink with the banned substance, was enough to pardon the boxer. Can you believe that shit?
Now we have this mess with not only Fury but his cousin Hughie, too. All we know officially is that both Fury's have had their "provisional suspensions" lifted less than one month after being given them, and we only found out that they were given on the same day that they were lifted. This came just 24 hours after Team Fury reportedly began legal proceedings against UKAD. Someone in that organization is scared. UKAD have not officially named the substance the Fury's came up positive for, nor where they the "leak" when this story was first broken, so I'm unsure how Team Fury can have grounds to sue UKAD, but they are. Peter Fury tweeted this week that the leak came from within Team Fury and that the relevant heads had been chopped.
The allegations (which broke on the same day as UKAD informed the Fury's of their "secret" suspension and the EXACT same day that Fury officially pulled out of the scheduled rematch with Klitschko) are that both Fury's tested positive for nandrolone in February of 2015, which was also a month in which they both happened to fight and win. Tyson Fury, looked in fine fettle as he pasted Christian Hammer in one sided fashion. Seven months after this Tyson Fury was allowed to fight for the World Heavyweight championship. Did UKAD, Team Fury and the BBBC know about the test failure at this time?
The Fury's anger stems from the fact that, again, allegedly, they were informed by UKAD that a second test, taken in May 2015 was negative and that this somehow magically proves that they did not cheat, that UKAD made a mistake with the February test. In that three month period between February and May their collective system's could very well have been "flushed out", to use drug parlance (if that's even a term).
My personal query, is about the "B" sample of the February test. Neither UKAD or Team Fury have uttered anything about this, and it would be the ultimate truth teller as to whether or not the Fury's had definitely ingested an illegal substance or not. The only way for the Fury's to wriggle out of this particular avenue is if UKAD have either lost or destroyed the "B" sample accidentally.
Either way, both Fury's will have to face a panel of some description at an unknown date and time (plus this is UKAD we are dealing with, so we may not find out when this will be for about three years) to answer the charges of a failed test, it's just at the moment UKAD's announcement that the provisional suspension that nobody had been informed of has been lifted which has given the impression that the Fury's have scored some kind of victory, when really they haven't. They could yet be facing punishment in the form of a suspension but give how toothless UKAD kind of are, I wouldn't be surprised to see them get off on a technicality.
The date for the Klitschko rematch is said to be in the last week of October, but with the UKAD hearing on the horizon, and hopefully that will be sooner rather than later, who knows if it will be called off again.
BTW, Hughie Fury, the cousin who is also to answer the same UKAD charges has suffered with those awful acne breakouts that are indicative of heavy PED use or the signs of someone allergic to a certain steroid, depending on who you believe and whispers about his cleanliness on the PED front have been about in the UK for a couple of years. Originally Hughie's father/trainer Peter (also Tyson's trainer) claimed that Hughie was suffering from a copper deficiency that was causing great discomfort to his son, and he was removed from competition for a while. He was brought back, but still suffered from the same outbreak's and then was supposedly diagnosed with a skin condition named acne conglobata and was, just one month before the test failure story broke, removed from competition by his father once again until he could get this cleared up. He just last week gave an interview to subscription channel Boxnation's Youtube feed saying that the condition was almost cleared up. That's ironic, isn't it?

Jarrel Miller is taking on Fred Kassi tomorrow. Shouldn't be too difficult for Miller, looking at Kassi's most recent results.

So this happened three weeks ago and we all seem to have missed it, not that it's of much significance.
Also, Jarrell Miller won his fight by TKO (Kassi injured his hand).

I'm not sure how up-to-date all the listings are, but going on the assumption that all the outputs regularly update their websites, Miller is ranked:
Official Rankings === WBC #19 WBA #9 IBF #9 WBO #7
Independent Rankings === Fightnews #16 Boxrec #28
So overall Miller is ranked pretty high and at 18-0-1 my guess would be he'll step up in competition after reaching 20 wins.
Fun fact: WBC has Kyotaro ranked at #16 at the moment, putting him 3 spots above Miller.
Perhaps TheMagi who's definitely more at home in Boxing can chime in on this.
