British heavyweight Tyson Fury will face Christian Hammer on February 28 as he looks to retain his status as mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko's WBO title.
Fury defeated Dereck Chisora last month to put himself in line to fight for a world title, but with any possible showdown with the Ukrainian not due to take place until the summer, the 26-year-old has chosen to stay active after competing just twice since April 2013.
Germany's Hammer has a professional record of 17 victories in 20 contests, but he hasn't been defeated since 2010 and will enter the bout at London's O2 Arena full of confidence.
Fury's European title, which he won from Chisora, is also expected to be on the line.
