British super-flyweight Paul Butler must wait for his chance to fight for the IBF title after champion Zolani Tete broke his hand in training.

British super-flyweight Paul Butler has seen his fight with IBF champion Zolani Tete postponed after the South African broke his hand in training.

Butler won the IBF bantamweight crown earlier this year before vacating it to drop down to his natural weight, but with just three weeks to go until his second shot at global honours, the unbeaten fighter has been told he must wait for his chance to become a two-weight world champion.

The 25-year-old told promoter Frank Warren's official website: "From the high of winning the world title against Stuart Hall in June, it was devastating news to receive that Tete had broken his hand.

"My team are all gutted, after the work everyone has put in for this fight. On a positive note, the fight against Tete is contracted to happen, and I look forward to getting the new date.

"I know that I will just have to wait a little longer to get my hands on a second world title."

Butler will now face a new opponent at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on October 25.
