Fury, the mandatory challenger, pulled out of the May 6 promotion in Auckland citing a back injury. He has been replaced by Romanian Razvan Cojanu, the WBO's No 14.
A search of the licensed boxers on the British Boxing Board of Control's website revealed no Fury two weeks out from what was meant to be the fight of his career.
Replying to an inquiry from Stuff about Fury's surprising absence, the board's general secretary, Robert Smith, said the boxer was in the process of renewing his licence.
