James DeGale will be back fighting in the county next month.
The 2008 Olympic champion will headline a show at Glow, Bluewater on Saturday, June 8.
DeGale - who last fought at Glow in October 2012 - will be defending his WBC Silver super-middleweight title against Croatian fighter Stjepan Bozic.
“I’m excited to be boxing at Glow again,” said the 27-year-old, who also holds the EBU (European) title.
“It was a tremendous atmosphere for my last fight and it’s a great venue to headline at.”
DeGale is in confident mood after heading home from Canada, where he knocked out Sebastien Demers inside two rounds.
“This year is going to be a big year for me,” he said.
“I’m looking to be the first ever British Olympic gold medallist who goes on and wins a professional world title and I just want to show my fans and especially the British fight fans what I’m made of.”
Slovenian-born Croatian Bozic is a former WBA Inter-Continental champion and boasts 26 wins with 17 knockouts.
Included on the undercard are WBC International super-bantamweight champion Kid Galahad, Chris Eubank Jr and Hughie Fury.
