Promoter Barry Hearn says he is not convinced by reports former world featherweight champion Prince Naseem Hamed may end his two year ring exile.
It had been claimed Hamed could meet the winner of Saturday's bout between Injin Chin and Michael Brodie.
"I've not heard from Naz for three months and the last time I saw him he weighed about 12 stone," said Hearn.
"If he could get back down to nine stone he'd be in the mix, but I think we have more appealing alternatives."
