Lee Haskins is being steered towards a winner-takes-all showdown with Commonwealth flyweight champion Don Broadhurst.

The 25-year-old Bristolian was booked to defend his British 8st crown against Commonwealth bantam boss Jason Booth on a Frank Maloney/Sanigar Events co-promotion live on Sky Sports on March 20 in Nottingham.

But Haskins was forced to pull out after going down with flu and is not expected to box until the summer.

And that will almost certainly lead him into direct confrontation with the unbeaten Broadhurst, who is set to be installed as mandatory challenger by the British Boxing Board of Control.

Bristol-based promoter Jamie Sanigar revealed: "There is an outside chance the fight with Booth could be rescheduled and still happen, possibly in April.

"But it is far more likely Lee will take on Broadhurst next after the Board make him mandatory challenger for the British title.

"Don is managed by Frank Warren, so the fight would probably go to purse bids.

"Nothing has been decided yet, but we're hoping there will be some news on Lee's next defence within a week or so."

Meanwhile, Sanigar-managed light heavyweight prospect Danny Roberts attempts to return to winning ways when he meets Derby's Elvis Dube at Newport Leisure Centre on Friday night.

The 21-year-old Bristolian only turned professional last year after a successful amateur career with the Empire Club.

He won his debut outing on points against James Tucker, but was then narrowly out-scored by Sammy Couzens last time out in Southampton. Hartcliffe-based Roberts will be supporterd by at least 100 travelling fans.
