Briton Caroline Dubois will face Maira Moneo for the WBC ‘interim’ lightweight world title at Barnsley’s Oakwell Stadium on Saturday, 3 August.
Dubois, 23, has also signed a long-term agreement with promotional outfit Boxxer.
The Londoner – who will put her IBO title on the line against Uruguayan Moneo – is targeting a future bout against undisputed world champion Katie Taylor.
“I’m ready to announce myself on the big stage. I want to be world champion,” Dubois said.
“I want to unify the division. I want to be undisputed and then I want to move up in weight.”
Pound-for-pound star Taylor holds all four recognised world titles in the division. The Irishwoman is set to defend her belts against Amanda Serrano in November.
“After this fight, I will be on a collision course with Katie Taylor,” added Dubois.
“I will be the interim champion, her mandatory and unless she vacates, we’re fighting next.”
Moneo, 31, has lost once in 15 professional fights.
The contest will take place on the undercard of the British and Commonwealth title fight between super-middleweight Zak Chelli and Callum Simpson at Barnsley Football Club’s stadium.
