Coseley's Jamie Gelder has seen his hopes of a clash with Tyson Fury's cousin dashed after he was replaced as an opponent.

Gelder believes he boxed himself out of the running by scoring his second straight win as a professional on Sunday afternoon.

The 22-year-old is unbeaten from his pair of outings and dropped Alfie Little in the fourth and last round of a convincing win at London's York Hall.

'Danger' left his opponent on the canvas after a left hand set up a right hook over the top, winning every session in a 40-35 score.

He was supposed to be taking on Dempsey Fury on a Channel Five televised bill at Ponds Forge Arena in Sheffield on Saturday night.

He's now been scrubbed from the line-up, so has dropped down to middleweight and accepted a fight with Mike Byles in Bedworth a week later.
