The British star was then thrown back into talks to settle his rivalry with Conor Benn, but the latter was provisionally suspended again with his BBBofC licence still in doubt.
After losing out, reports then emerged that he was in talks to face pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford but a showdown also failed to materialise.
