Joshua Buatsi urged Anthony Yarde to agree to a fight amid delays.
Buatsi defeated Dan Azeez in February, and Yarde defeated Marko Nikolic the week after, and it appeared the pair would settle upon a fight in the coming months.
However, nothing has been agreed as yet for an all-British clash and, speaking to talkSPORT , Buatsi appeared to be getting impatient.
"If it's getting into the legals, we all know this is gonna take longer than a couple of weeks to sort out," he said.
"Timing's going for me, I wanna keep active. Am I gonna wait for the Yarde fight? If it's proposed sooner rather than later, I'll take it. If not, I have to move on.
"Of course it's a fight that the public want, that I want.
"I want to get into these big fights for people where it's two big guys coming together to fight.
"But it's not something where I'm gonna pause my career and wait on.
"If he's gotta sort things out legally, let that be done."
