British and Commonwealth bantamweight champion Lee McGregor will face Karim Guerfi as he attempts to land the Frenchman's European title.
Guerfi is a three-time European bantamweight champion who challenged for an international flyweight world title in 2012, and it marks a return to the ring for the first time since November 2019 when he beat Georges Ory.
McGregor last fought in August 2020 when he stopped Ryan Walker after just five rounds.
The vacant British Boxing Board of Control lightweight championship is up for grabs as Liam Walsh takes on Paul Hyland Jr.
30-year-old fighter Hyland Jr has not fought in over a year. His last bout was a defeat to Francesco Patera in Milan when he failed to capture the EBU European lightweight title, way back in June 2019.
Walsh, four years his opponent's senior, also fought in 2019 in his most recent action, when a November fight saw him win a fight for the vacant WBO European lightweight tite.
