'Masher' (11-2-1-KO2) was last in action in outpointing Pasquale di Silvio at Goodison Park in May and now faces Belgium's Patera (16-1-KO7).
"I'm really looking forward to defending my belt for the first time," said Dodd. "Goodison Park was an epic night for boxing in Liverpool and it's one that's going to be talked about for years.
"That's all in the past though and now it's time for me to kick on and see how far I can keep this ride going. Francesco is a young kid with plenty of ambition and I'm expecting the toughest fight of my career, but I won't be denied on my home patch."
The 23-year-old Patera has an impressive record and his sole career defeat came in taking Yvan Mendy the distance.
