Tyson Fury’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk will take place on 21 December in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The date was announced by the country’s chair of its General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh.
Usyk won on a split decision when the rivals met earlier this month to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
That fight was also held in Saudi Arabia.
It had been well-publicised in the lead-up to the fight that the Fury-Usyk contract included a rematch clause.
