Olympic champion James DeGale will tackle Matthew Barr in his sixth professional fight at Wembley Arena.
The 23-year-old will fight in London for the first time on February 13, and couldn't have asked for a better venue, just a stone's throw from his Harlesden home.
DeGale, who took gold at the 2008 Olympics in China, will look to build on five wins out of five since turning professional a year ago.
Three of those opponents have been stopped, and after a nervy start, the north Londoner is looking increasingly assured.
Barr, from Walton on Thames, has 14 wins and five defeats, stopping six of his victims.
The 32-year-old southpaw has won seven of his last eight fights, and will take on DeGale at super-middleweight.

Well let me tell anyone who care to listen degale has bitten off to much with matt i know what the team thought on this one yer matt hasnt been active in the last few years and yes he cuts but please dont kid yourselfs he bangs like a horse kicks and is a far better boxer than degale ever dreamed he was himself.
So ok a cut may happen and maybe a flash knockdown but thats when the fun starts for my man any last regest james Degale.
