Amir Khan has put his comeback on hold after missing out on a showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
The former two-weight world champion has not fought since he was sickeningly knocked out by Canelo Alvarez last May.
He had agreed to fight former training partner Pacquiao later this month but negotiations broke down.
And Khan has now shelved his return until after he observes Ramadan over the summer.
He said: “To give an update, I?ve just arrived back in the UK after spending nearly four months in training camp in San Francisco.
“Training with Virgil Hunter and Tony Brady has gone great and I?ve had the chance to work and focus on a lot of things that I wanted to.
“I?ve been able to see how my hand has responded in camp since my operation on it late last year. It felt very good and I?ve not had any problems with it, which I?m pleased about.
“That was my main reason for trying to get a tune up fight before Ramadan, so that I could test out my hand, but because it?s responded so well to some hard sparring and in the gym, day-after-day, I?m now looking to get a bigger fight after Ramadan.
“I’ve spoken with [advisor] Al Haymon and there are several big fights out there which we?re working on and which I?m sure you?ll all love. I want to give fans the biggest and most meaningful fights rather than just any opponent.
