Amir Khan's rematch with Lamont Peterson has been called off after the American champion's failed drugs test.
Both fighters agreed to random testing before their 19 May light-welterweight bout in Las Vegas, and Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone.
Peterson subsequently gave a negative test and his camp were appealing to the Nevada Athletics Commission.
"The fight is off! Sorry everyone the only person to blame is @kingpete26," tweeted Khan on Wednesday.
"I'll be looking for a opponent to fight June 30th."
