TYSON FURY could fight Jarrell Miller after Deontay Wilder pushing a Battle of Britain against Anthony Joshua back further.
The WBC heavyweight champ will put the green belt on the line when he completes his trilogy against Wilder, scheduled for July 18.

But like most sport, this date is under threat due to the ongoing global pandemic coronavirus.
Boxing fans were then hoping, providing Fury wins and AJ beats Kubrat Pulev, that an undisputed fight between the two Brits could happen this year.
But there could be a spanner in the works in the shape of 20st American Miller.
Big Baby has not fought since November 2018 when he knocked out Bogdan Dinu.
He famously failed a drugs test that cost him a shot at Joshua and his world titles last year.
MILLER CONFIDENT
It left replacement Andy Ruiz Jr to cash in and shock the world when he floored AJ four times on the way to sensational seventh-round stoppage.
Joshua of course got his revenge in December when he easily outpointed the Mexican to win back the WBA, WBO and IBF belts.
Miller is ready for his own comeback in the sport – and that could see him bag a shock shot at the Gypsy King who is signed up with the same Top Rank US promoter.
Speaking about whether a crack at Fury is a real option, Miller told Sky Sports: “I think it is. I think that they were talking about it after Fury fighting Wilder again.
“I was supposed to be the co-main event for that fight. I was supposed to be the co-main event for the last fight.
“I think that will be definitely in the future.”
The 31-year-old New Yorker is undefeated as a pro, with 20 KOs from his 23 wins.
SunSport recently reported how a Joshua versus Fury blockbuster isn’t likely this year as Wilder is committed to the trilogy.
This is despite him being battered into a seventh-round stoppage by Fury in February.
