However, he will no longer be able to participate.
It is understood the card has not been cancelled.
Instead, a different fighter will be called in to replace Miller and take on Wardley.
The event will take place at Portman Road – home of Wardley’s boyhood club, Ipswich Town.
It will be the first boxing event held at the stadium.
Discussing Miller when the bout was announced, the 30-year-old said: “He’s a top 10 contender, he’s challenged with the big boys before, and I’m in that world title race and I want to prove myself against one of those top-level guys.
“I think he’s a perfect fit for that because he brings energy and he brings the fight in simple terms.
“You know what you’re going to get from him. You’re going to get the entertainment factor and that’s something that I bring and he brings. The clash of us together is going to be chaotic.”
