Boxing could be set for a major shake-up with VAR reportedly wanted for Tyson Fury's blockbuster bout with Oleksandr Usyk in May.
The pair had been due to fight tonight but their battle was pushed back after Fury sustained a gruesome cut to his eye in sparring.
The world now awaits the heavyweight showdown, which will take place in Saudi Arabia.
And Fury's clash with Usyk could see video replay technology (VAR) used if tournament organisers get their wish.

According to talkSPORT, the Saudis are keen for video replays to 'help them come to the correct decision'.
Boxing could use the technology to write some wrongs, while it would also take some of the heat off the judges as well.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman recently said boxing must adapt to the modern world, telling Gambling.com: "We started instant replays 12 years ago.
"We have used it in Japan, Canada, Mexico, Europe, the United States and every other major territory.
"We have used it with the British Board of Control twice and in the last fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou where Fury was cut.
"The referee didn’t see the source of the cut and on the giant screening we saw it was a headbutt, so we instantly ruled it as a headbutt."
He added: 'We must have instant replays, especially in fights like this because the last thing you want is controversy that kills the sport.
'We will fight very hard to have instant replays for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk and in all major fights moving forward.
"We have to use the technology that is available and make the best out of it."
Fury will go into his fight with Usyk with a point to prove.
Many have condemned the boxing star for his performance in his narrow victory over Francis Ngannou in October.
And Sulaiman enjoyed that fight, admitting he was 'surprised' at the way Ngannou fared in his first professional boxing fight.
"I have never been involved in an event of such magnitude in terms of production, the attendance and so many legendary champions, football players, MMA, entertainers were at the fight," he said.
"The hotels were a dream, the interviews and then the production where there was no ring in the arena.
"There was a music act and then the ring comes from the floor, it was amazing.
