British boxing officials are urging anti-doping officials to sort out Hughie Fury's delayed case before his WBO title fight with Joseph Parker.
The delays with the anticipated fight continue but May 6 in Auckland looks the likely date, rather than the initial April 1.
But a cloud hangs over the fight with Fury, along with his cousin and former world champion Tyson Fury, still having an alleged positive test to banned steroid nandrolone hanging over them since 2015.
Both deny taking the banned substance and have blamed their positive tests on contaminated meat. There has been no confirmation over their B sample tests.
The British Boxing Board of Control has urged the United Kingdom Anti-Doping authority to get the matter sorted out, with suggestions of an April hearing.
"'We entrust UKAD with all our anti-doping procedures and we are very disappointed this matter has still not been resolved. We have frequently corresponded with UKAD, asking them to hold the hearing and very much want them to do so now, at the earliest opportunity," Robert Smith, secretary-general of the BBBC told the Daily Mail.
