Michael Conlan will fight Leigh Wood for the WBA world featherweight title at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena on March 12.
The venue and date for the showdown was confirmed on Friday, Belfast Live reports.
Conlan's English opponent will have home advantage when he defends his WBA 'Regular' World featherweight title.
But the Belfast challenger is expected to bring plenty of travelling support for the much-anticipated clash.
Conlan Boxing confirmed the fight - which will be shown live on DAZN - adding: "It's time to bring Belfast to Nottingham."
Wood won the title off China's Xu Can last July, while Conlan's last fight was a WBA Interim World title win over TJ Doheny at Falls Park back in August.
Speaking in a recent interview with the Irish News, Conlan said: “I'll probably have more people in the arena than Leigh Wood.
"Everybody loves an away-day, it's the third month of the year and I could see a lot of people travelling over. I think they'll have a great night."
