England Boxing have also said they may select appropriate competition opportunities for the Luton teenager to represent England in the coming months.

King has had a frustrating season so far, with a lack of action due to 12 of his last 16 opponents pulling out of the bouts.

He is due to finally box again in the UK Golden Gloves Box Cup from July 21.
