George Groves, Martin Murray and Callum Smith will turn their attention to the winner of this weekend's WBA super-middleweight championship fight.
Germany's Vincent Feigenbutz (21-1, 19 KOs) is fighting Italy's Giovanni De Carolis (23-6, 11 KOs) for the vacant regular WBA title after the prize was upgraded from the interim belt.
The world championship scrap in Offenburg, Germany, will now attract the attention of the likes of former challenger Groves who twice failed to take the strap from Carl Froch.
Murray, meanwhile, lost a WBA Super title fight to Gennady Golovkin last February after drawing against Felix Sturm for the same prize three years ago. The undefeated Smith is yet to contest his first full world championship.
The WBA's ruling to upgrade the title for Feigenbutz and De Carolis' fight comes following Andre Ward's move up to light-heavyweight and the subsequent promotion of world champion Fedor Chudinov to 'Super' champion.
Feigenbutz, aged 20, will become Germany's youngest ever world champion if he can repeat October's win against De Carolis.
