Derek Chisora will meet Deontay Wilder on April 4 at London’s O2 Arena, in what will be the 50th professional fight for both heavyweights.
Chisora, a cult hero in British boxing, has been a fixture at the top of the division for the past 15 years.
He has fought some of the finest boxers in the world, including Tyson Fury (three times), Oleksandr Usyk, Vitali Klitschko, and many more.
Chisora has challenged for world titles twice, headlined a football stadium in his third fight with Fury, and is currently on a run of good form.
American heavyweight Wilder has long been regarded as one of the hardest punchers in the sport and arguably one of the most devastating hitters of all time.
The former WBC heavyweight champion was unbeaten in 43 fights, a run the Olympic bronze medallist began in 2008 and extended until his second bout with Fury in 2020.
With a knockout ratio of more than 97 percent, Wilder has produced some spectacular finishes.
After losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, Wilder rebuilt with a win over Tyrrel Anthony Herndon last year.
Wilder has been linked to a potential contest with reigning unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk but will first return to the UK for the first time since stopping Audley Harrison in 2013 to face Chisora.
