Galal Yafai will be the leading light when the British Lionhearts take on the Morocco Atlas Lions.
The Rio Olympian, who is the younger brother of world champion Kal and Commonwealth champion Gamal, is part of the side making their home debut in the latest World Series Boxing series, at York Hall, on Wednesday night.
You can still get tickets for this and a special discounted season ticket via Sky Tickets.
Birmingham's Yafai will be joined by Liverpool's Peter McGrail and Leeds-born Conor Loftus, with Hungarian Zoltan Harcsa and Croatian Josip-Bepo Filipi, the two overseas fighters to take on their Morocco counterparts.
"I always enjoy boxing in the WSB and it is great to be back at York Hall, which is one of the best places in the world to watch the sport," said Yafai.
"We have made a decent start to the season and have a good record against Morocco, so I am hoping that we can put on a performance for the fans and secure another win."
The Lionhearts are second in Group B, following a 3-2 away win against the France Fighting Roosters and a 3-2 defeat away to Italia Thunder.
Light-flyweight Yafai will be the most experienced of the five-man, ahead of bantamweight McGrail and Loftus will be making his WSB debut at light-welterweight. Fellow Rio Olympians, Harcsa will fight at middleweight and Filipi at heavyweight, who super-heavyweight bronze.
