Britain's Tyson Fury has agreed to fight against Swede Otto Wallin in Las Vegas on September 14, according to the US sports channel ESPN on Friday.
ESPN is expected to broadcast the fight, which must be held in a room yet to be defined.
Wallin is 28 and undefeated in 20 fights (12 knockouts).
In mid-June, in his last appearance, Fury (30), also undefeated among professionals, had been expeditious beating the German Tom Schwarz in the second round.
He was back in the ring seven months after his spectacular duel with American WBC champion Deontay Wilder, who had a draw.
A revenge could be held in 2020 between the two big boxers.
Fury, a former WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion, challenged the American again after his June win: "Next year, I'll go hunting for Deontay Wilder to get his green belt" from WBC champion, he had declared. "There will be another fight and then it will be Wilder's turn," he said.
Wilder (33) has announced in May that he will face Cuban Luis Ortiz by the end of the year.
