World heavyweight title challenger Dereck Chisora has confirmed he will return to action in Stockholm on September 10.
The 32-year-old Londoner (25-6-KO17) last fought in May when he was outpointed by Kubrat Pulev (23-1-KO12) in Hamburg with the vacant European title on the line.
Chisora, who has previously expressed a desire to take on domestic rivals such as world champion Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte, will now face Bosnia & Herzegovina's Drazan Janjanin (13-7-KO12) as he looks to rebuild.
That is one of the good things about working with a big promoter like Team Sauerland - you get to fight all over Europe.
'Del Boy' said: "This is the fight game. If you lose, you have to rebuild and come back. I lost a close fight to Pulev, but I'm still in a good position.
"I want a rematch, but let's see if they give it to me. Either way, there are a lot of big fights out there for me, and I'm ready to fight anyone.
"I'm excited to be fighting in Sweden. This will be my first time in Stockholm, but I've heard it's a great place. That is one of the good things about working with a big promoter like Team Sauerland - you get to fight all over Europe, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to sign with them."
Chisora challenged Vitali Klitschko for the WBC world heavyweight crown in February 2012 but was unanimously outpointed. He has also lost twice to current world champion Tyson Fury and once to former world champion David Haye.
