Enzo Maccarinelli has been left looking for an opponent
Enzo Maccarinelli's fight with Ezra Sellers on 3 November has been blocked by the British Boxing Board of Control.
WBO cruiserweight champion Maccarinelli was due to face the veteran American on the undercard of the Joe Calzaghe - Mikkel Kessler fight in Cardiff.
But Sellers has been refused clearance by the BBBC and the Welshman must now find a new opponent.
"Sellers has boxed only once in three years," Board general secretary Simon Block told the South Wales Echo.
He added: "Before that, he suffered some substantial defeats in 2004, albeit to good men, and on that basis we thought he was not suitable for a world title fight - and the WBO agreed with us."
Around 55,000 people are expected to attend the Calzaghe - Kessler fight at the Millennium Stadium next month.
Promoters Sports Network confirmed to BBC Sport that they are still seeking a suitable replacement to face the Swansea fighter.
Possible opponents include Darnell Wison, Vincenzo Cantatore and Giacobbe Fragomeni.
