Anthony Joshua will face Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title at Wembley Stadium on 21 September.
Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt, resulting in interim champion Dubois being elevated to champion status.
Two-time world champion Joshua is on a four-fight winning streak with three stoppages in his past three bouts.
Dubois has won his last two fights, stopping Jarrell Miller in December and Filip Hrgovic this month to become interim champion.
Ukrainian Usyk initially requested not to be stripped of the IBF belt to keep the undisputed title on the line for his rematch with Britain’s Tyson Fury on 21 December but later changed his mind.
“Anthony and Daniel, I know the IBF title is important to you. It is my present to you on 21 September,” Usyk said in a video message on X.
Dubois Fight
Dubois lost in controversial fashion to Usyk in August in his first bid to win a world title.
Daniel Dubois floored Usyk in the fifth round with what the referee deemed a low blow before losing by stoppage in the ninth.
Daniel has won 21 of his 23 fights, while Joshua has 28 victories and three losses. Together, they have a combined 45 knockouts.
This event will be the first boxing match at Wembley since Fury’s victory over Whyte in December 2022.
Joshua will headline at Wembley for the third time, while Dubois will make his debut in a main event at a 60,000-plus venue.
The winner of this bout potentially fight the victor of the Usyk-Fury rematch.
