WAYNE McCULLOUGH'S world title ambitions have been put on hold and he is set to return to the ring on July 19th in Chicago.

McCullough's manager, Matt Tinley offered WBC superbantamweight champion Daniel Zaragoza a purse of £530,000 to face McCullough in a rematch of their fight in Boston in January, but the offer was snubbed.

Tinley says that he is lining up fights for McCullough in Dublin, Belfast and Sydney, Australia.
