Former world featherweight champion Scott Harrison has spoken of his shock after failing in a bid to regain his boxing license.
The 34-year-old Scot revealed he had been informed by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) that he had not submitted all the relevant paperwork.
Harrison has not fought since 2005 after struggling with personal problems but has been in training since being released from a spell in a Spanish jail.
Harrison, who lost just one of 10 world title fights, told BBC Scotland: "They have had every piece of paper they have needed. I don't know what's happened.
"I am still in the dark about what's happening with my future.
"I'm shocked. I've got a family and I can't provide for my three kids without getting my licence back.
"I feel confident of winning the world title again and being a three-time world champion, only if the British Boxing Board of Control return my licence."
The BBBofC have not commented on the situation.
