Double Olympic champion Nicola Adams will fight for the Interim WBO World Female Super-Flyweight title in Leicester next month.
The 35-year-old, gold medallist in 2012 and 2016, will face Mexican former world title challenger Isabel Millan on October 6.
Adams, who recently teamed up with trainer Dominic Ingle, will be competing in just her fifth bout as a professional.
She needed only one round to defeat Argentina’s Soledad del Valle Frias in her last outing in May.
“Nicola has been asking for a fight like this and I’m delighted that we have delivered for her.” said promotor Frank Warren.
“Isabel Millan is a tough, Mexican fighter, has a good record and has good experience fighting at world level, this is going to be a good test for Nicola.
“The Leicester bill is absolutely stacked with good quality fights and Nicola fighting for the interim world title just adds to what is going to be a fantastic night of boxing on October 6.”
