Dereck Chisora will fight Carlos Takam on the undercard to Dillian Whyte's heavyweight clash with Joseph Parker, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
The pair join a stellar support cast, which already includes Kell Brook, Katie Taylor and Conor Benn, hoping to light up the O2 on July 28.
Both men find their careers on a knife-edge going into the clash, with Finchley man and former World title challenger Chisora seeking a big win to fire his name into the mix for major title fights having been edged out by Agit Kabayel for the European title in Monaco in November following a narrow defeat to headliner Dillian Whyte in a fight of the year contender in Manchester in December 2017.
Takam is back in the UK following his spirited challenge against Anthony Joshua for the IBF, WBA and IBO World titles at Principality Stadium in Cardiff in October.
Takam fights again in the UK following his challenge to unified champion Anthony Joshua at the Principality Stadium last year.
The charismatic France-Based Cameroonian was drafted in as a late replacement but fought valiantly before being stopped in the tenth period by 'AJ'.
The 37-year-old also has history with former WBO king Parker who edged out Takam via a decision two years ago.
