Brook vs Cook Boxing : Kell Brook will fight at super-welterweight for the second time when he faces Brandon Cook on 28 July.
The former welterweight world champion, 32, impressed at the weight when he stopped Sergey Rabchenko in March.
Promoter Eddie Hearn says victory over Canada's Cook - who has 20 wins from 21 fights - would put Brook in "pole position" for a shot at a world title.
The fight is on the undercard of the heavyweight bout between Dillian Whyte and Joseph Parker at London's O2 Arena.
Brook has only lost twice in a 39-fight career, once when he boldly stepped up to face Gennady Golovkin at middleweight and a second time when he lost his IBF world welterweight title to American Errol Spence in May of 2017.
The Sheffield fighter broke separate eye sockets in each of the defeats and spent 10 months out of the ring before moving to super-welterweight to beat Rabchenko in two rounds.
