Briton Sam Noakes will fight fellow unbeaten contender Abdullah Mason for the vacant WBO lightweight world title in Saudi Arabia this November.
The 27-year-old from Maidstone has won all 17 of his professional bouts, stopping 15 opponents.
American Mason, 21, also boasts a perfect record, with 17 knockouts from 19 victories.
The WBO ordered the bout after stripping former champion Keyshawn Davis, who failed to make weight for a cancelled fight against Edwin De Los Santos.
The fight will take place during Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season, with the exact date and venue yet to be confirmed.
The undercard will feature London’s Anthony Yarde challenging WBC light-heavyweight champion David Benavidez, and a welterweight main event between WBO champion Brian Norman Jr and Devin Haney.
