Williams lost his Commonwealth belt to Matt Skelton in July
|
Danny Williams has pulled out of his British heavyweight challenge against Scott Gammer, scheduled for the Afan Lido, Port Talbot on 13 October.
Former holder Williams, a Muslim, has withdrawn because the date coincides with Ramadan, claiming that he would not be in a fit condition to box.
The show will go ahead, with London's Micky Steeds replacing Williams.
Promoter Paul Boyce still hopes to stage a fight between Gammer and Williams at a later date.
Gammer, 29, who claimed the vacant crown when he halted former victim Mark Krence at Carmarthen Showground in June.
Southern Area champion Steeds, a 22-year-old prospect from the Isle of Dogs, dropped a six-round points decision to Gammer in Brighton 18 months ago, but that remains his only loss in nine fights.
