Billy Hardy's European featherweight title defence against Italy's Stefano Zoff, scheduled for San Remo on 25 April, has been postponed. The 31-year-old champion from Sunderland has been granted five weeks to allow a shoulder injury to mend.

Steve Robinson, the former World Boxing Organisation world featherweight champion, has been offered the chance to fight Tom Johnson, of the United States, next month for his International Boxing Federation title.
