Harlem Eubank could still fight Adam Azim down the line despite a previous prospective bout falling through, according to promoter Ben Shalom.
The former is set to face Tyrone McKenna next month in Brighton while the latter will take on Sergey Lipinets in a contest this weekend.
But before that, the two had been expected to meet in a highly anticipated clash last year, before the fight crumpled before terms could be settled.
But BOXXER promoter Shalom believes the two could still cross paths, and admits that Eubank's name recognition would help raise the profile of it too.
"Harlem Eubank's obviously calling Adam out and he likes the fight," he told Sky Sports News. That would be a great fight and it's a fight we should have had.
"By the time it came around after Adam's injury, in fairness to Harlem he wanted one or two back to prepare for such a big fight. There's no reason why that can't happen.
"We want the big-profile fights and we know what the name Eubank does in British boxing."
Eubank scored a unanimous decision victory over Nurali Erdogan in his last bout, while Azim stopped Ohara Davies in eight rounds last time out.
