Tony Bellew has agreed terms to face Adonis Stevenson for his WBC light-heavyweight title.
The 30-year-old will face the Canadian after he has fought Tavoris Cloud in a voluntary defence of his title at the end of September.
If Stevenson is successful, he is likely to face Bellew on November 30, but a date is yet to be confirmed.
The Liverpudlian earned his shot for a world title by defeating Isaac Chilemba on points in May.
