Tim Tszyu and Dennis Hogan will meet in New South Wales on Wednesday 31 March to fight for a shot at the WBO super welterweight belt with a card that features two title fights.
The winner could be on their way to international fights should they claim the title, earning the right to fight the WBO's current champion, Brian Castano.
Rising star Tszyu, 26, last fought in December when he needed just the first round to stop Bowyn Morgan to continue an unbeaten streak of 17 fights since making his debut. The son of Aussie legend Kostya hopes to follow in his father's world championship footsteps.
36 year-old fighter Irishman Hogan has been out of the ring for more than a year. His last fight came in December 2019 when he was stopped by WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo. In April 2019 he suffered a majority decision defeat to then WBO super welterweight champion, Jaime Munguia.
The undercard will feature Wade Ryan vs. Koen Mazoudier (for the WBO Oceania and IBO international super welterweight titles) and Cesar Mateo Tapia vs. Renold Quinlan (for the vacant WBA Oceania super middleweight belt).
