Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will not face off at today's weigh-in as organisers of their rematch move to prevent any possible on-stage clash.
Fury and WBC world heavyweight champion Wilder pushed one another at a news conference before their 2018 bout.
They did so again at a news conference on Thursday, when organisers were left frustrated by the time it took for security to intervene.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has now chosen to scrap the face-off.
At Thursday's news conference, Fury and Wilder pushed each other before interviews began.
As a result, the commission sanctioning the bout has acted with caution as any injury or incident that could lead to a postponement would see organisers lose out on millions of dollars.
Fury will take on the Wilder for the WBC Heavyweight title tomorrow and the boxing program is expected to start at 2pm.
