Harlem Eubank will return to the ring on Friday, October 25, live and free-to-air on Channel 5.
One of the biggest names in British boxing, the unbeaten Eubank meets former French welterweight champion Nurali Erdogan next month.
Eubank, who delivered a stunning career-best performance in Brighton last year in front of a TV audience of two million, is ready to make up for lost time ahead of big nights in his hometown early next year.
The 30-year-old signed a new multi-fight deal with Wasserman Boxing, last week, and follows that up by confirming the 20th bout of his unblemished career.
Also, on the Wasserman Boxing event in Bolton, which is delivered in association with Ladbrokes and Infinitum, will be sensational British prospect Dan Toward, rising super lightweight star Khaleel Majid and heavyweight hope Matty Harris.
The exciting Niall Brown is also on the card, along with Codie Smith, Ben Marksby, local hero Alex Murphy and Sophie Alisch.
But it will be the returning Eubank, out of the ring since November, who headlines on Channel 5 with the welterweight puncher looking to become the first man to stop Erdogan.
Harlem Eubank said: “Hot on the heels of my new deal with Wasserman Boxing, I am thrilled to be able to confirm my return to the ring.
“I cannot wait to get my career moving again and October 25 represents the start of the biggest chapter in my boxing story and the beginning of my journey at welterweight.
“I will have been out of the ring for almost year, so I plan on issuing a timely reminder as to what I am all about, live to the nation on Channel 5.”
Kalle Sauerland, Global Head of Boxing at Wasserman, said: “Harlem Eubank gets back to business on October 25, live and free on Channel 5.
“Harlem is one of the biggest names in British boxing and his return to the ring has been long overdue.
“We’re thrilled he signed a new deal with Wasserman Boxing and delighted to deliver him a fight date straight away.
“Harlem drew a huge TV audience for his last fight on Channel 5 and UK fight fans are sure to tune-in again for his long-awaited return.
“Expect a performance that sends a warning shot to the welterweight division.”
Alex Apati, from Ladbrokes, said: “British boxing has been eagerly anticipating Harlem’s return to the ring and he’ll no doubt be heading to Bolton with a point to prove.
“We’d expect plenty of punters to get behind the Brit in what looks set to be another fantastic night with Wasserman Boxing.”
