The British Boxing Board of Control hopes Nick Blackwell will contribute to a hearing in the new year.
The Board, which is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Blackwell's ill-fated sparring session last week which resulted in him once again being rushed to hospital after he fell ill, wants the former British middleweight champion to explain at its January hearing why he was in the ring.
Blackwell, 26, is no longer sedated and remains in a stable condition. However, the Trowbridge man - who retired from the ring with a record of 19-4-1 (8 KOs) in the wake of his first visit to hospital following a defeat at the hands of Chris Eubank Jr. in May - is yet to regain consciousness after surgery to remove part of his skull to ease swelling on his brain.
