Chris Eunbank Jr and Conor Benn are hoping to finalise a deal to belatedly secure their grudge match - despite the ongoing legal situation tied to the latter's two failed drugs tests.
Benn and Eubank had initially signed to fight last October before the showdown was scrapped when Benn's two positive tests for clomifene came to light.
However, in September, the 27-year-old was cleared by UKAD and was seemingly told that he was free to fight in the UK once again.
Mail Sport revealed this week that only minor details on Eubank's side are yet to be resolved, with an announcement believed to be imminent for a bout that will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 3.
