Olympic champion Anthony Joshua has announced that he will take on Konstantin Airich in Manchester next month.
The 24-year-old, who has won all seven of his fights to date since turning professional, will face a tough test against the German heavyweight who has himself recorded 21 wins from 35 fights.
The fight will form part of the undercard of Scott Quigg's WBA world super-bantamweight title defence against Stephane Jamoye.
Joshua has been preparing for the September 13 bout by taking part in sparring sessions with heavyweight champion Wladmir Klitschko.
