British heavyweight Anthony Joshua will fight Jermaine Franklin on 1 April at the O2 Arena in London.
Joshua, 33, who lost back-to-back fights to world champion Oleksandr Usyk, will be seeking a first win since beating Kubrat Pulev in 2020.
Franklin was beaten on points by Briton Dillian Whyte in November, marking a first loss in 22 fights for the 29-year-old American.
Joshua, a two-time world champion, lost by split decision as he sought to recapture the unified heavyweight titles from Usyk in August.
