Josh Warrington will defend his WBC international featherweight title against Jorge Sanchez in London on December 12, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Leeds' favourite Warrington makes his second defence of the title on a packed O2 Arena undercard to support Anthony Joshua's British and Commonwealth heavyweight title collision with Dillian Whyte.
Warrington shut out Joel Brunker in September and faces another step up in class against unbeaten Panamanian Sanchez, whose unbeaten 15-fight record includes nine stoppages.
A showdown with Wales' IBF world champion Lee Selby is the target for Warrington in 2016 and the 25-year-old says the pressure is on to end the year in impressive fashion.
"Sanchez will be my fourth fight of the year and I want to end 2015 with a big statement in London," Warrington said.
"The fights with Dennis Tubieron and Brunker in Leeds were tough ones and I am sure this will be a really hard fight - but it's on a massive Box Office card that will be getting huge attention, so I need to put in a top performance.
"Selby beat Brunker at the O2 and then won his world title there against Evgeny Gradovich, so it's a good venue for me to show that I am coming for his title in 2016."
Warrington complements a bill which includes Chris Eubank Jr against Spike O'Sullivan in a final eliminator for the WBA world middleweight title, and Kevin Mitchell who faces Ismael Barroso for the WBA interim lightweight title, with the winner facing Manchester's newly-crowned champion Anthony Crolla,
Liverpool's Tony Bellew continues his quest for a cruiserweight world title shot against Mateusz Masternak, while unbeaten lightweight prospect Luke Campbell also features.
