Anthony Joshua MBE will make the first defence of his IBF World Heavyweight title against unbeaten American Dominic Trouble' Breazeale in London on June 25.
Joshua took both the belt and unbeaten record of American Charles Martin at the same venue on April and he'll be looking to take another '0' in his maiden defence.
Breazeale brings a formidable 17-0 record to the UK with 15 wins inside the distance and enters the clash on the back of forcing Amir Mansour to retire after five rounds of their clash in January.
"I can't tell you how excited I am to fight again, especially at The O2 which I have made my fortress," said Joshua. "My coaches have watched Breazeale for a long time and they knew he was going to be a player in the division and now we get the chance to go war on June 25. It's sure to be explosive, both of us like to let our hands go and score knockouts, we are both undefeated and both have Olympic pedigree.
"I am looking to get passed Breazeale in style and continue moving towards the unification fight everybody is waiting for. I'm looking forward to being part of a stacked night of boxing and defending my title in style."
"We are looking to put on one of our strongest cards yet at The O2, topped by the huge domestic clash between George Groves and Martin Murray which is set to be a wonderful clash. Watch this space for some more big fights added soon."
