Kal Yafai will make the first defence of his WBA super-flyweight title at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham on Saturday May 13, live on Sky Sports.
The 27-year-old became Birmingham's first world champion after a dominant points win over Luis Concepcion in December and his first opponent will be confirmed soon for the homecoming bill.
Yafai has joined Roman Gonzalez, one of the sport's elite fighters, as a title holder in the 115lb division and intends to send out a warning to his rivals with an impressive first victory.
"It's a dream come true to be topping the bill in Birmingham as a world champion," said Yafai. "Winning the title in Manchester was amazing, but Birmingham is the place I want to fight and to turn the Barclaycard Arena into my hometown fortress.
"The world champions at super-flyweight are all top, top fighters. Roman Gonzalez is considered to be one of the pound-for-pound best and Naoya Inoue is a huge name in Japan and looks very impressive, so it's an exciting division to be in.
"I want to prove that I can mix it with those guys and I need to kick my reign off in style on May 13 to do that."
Promoter Eddie Hearn said: "December 10 was a great night for British boxing and a night when a new star was born in Kal Yafai.
"He took a two-weight world champion to school and made history as the first world champion from Birmingham.
"After some successful show in Birmingham, we can finally return to the city with a fully-fledged world champion. We have some outstanding fighters from the Midlands and fight fans must save the date in the diary for our biggest fight night yet in the second City."
Announcement's on Yafai's opponent, the undercard, and ticket details will be made soon.
