Jamie McDonnell will head to Japan to defend his world title against Naoya Inoue on May 25, live on Sky Sports.
Doncaster's McDonnell will put his WBA bantamweight gold on the line against the feted Inoue, who has already won world titles in two lower divisions and is regarded as one of the world's best boxers.
It will be McDonnell's seventh defence of his title, including two decision wins over Japan's Tomoki Kameda in the United States in 2015.
