Conor Benn will fight Regis Prograis on the undercard of Tyson Fury's April 11 bout with Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The announcement follows Benn's industry-shaking decision to sever ties with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing and join Zuffa, the new promotion run by UFC boss Dana White.
Benn's first fight under new management will see him return to the scene of his victory over Chris Eubank Jr to take on two-time light welterweight world champion Prograis (30-3, 24 KOs).

Benn said: "April 11 can't come soon enough, returning to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium again, where I made history against Eubank Jr means everything to me.
"My last fight there showed the world exactly who I am and what I'm about. Fighting on the biggest stages, in the biggest shows, I fear no one! I'm fully locked in and ready to deliver another statement performance."
Two of Prograis' three losses as a professional have come on English soil in world title fights against Josh Taylor in 2019 and Jack Catterall in 2024.
Prograis added: "Last time I fought in London, Conor Benn was on my undercard, so this is a full-circle moment for me.
"But this circle will close with me teaching him a lesson on April 11. He's not fighting some weight-drained super middleweight. I am in shape and will bring home this victory."
