Jaron 'Boots' Ennis and Josh Kelly will come together for a junior middleweight world title unification bout on Feb. 27, Matchroom Boxing confirmed Wednesday.
Ennis' WBA and WBO 154 pound titles and Kelly's IBF strap will be put on the line at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The bout will be broadcast globally on DAZN as well as on TNT Sports in the U.S.
Ennis (36-0, 32 KOs) is No. 8 on ESPN's pound-for-pound rankings and is widely regarded as one of boxing's hottest talents.
The Philadelphia fighter claimed a career-best Round 7 stoppage against Xander Zayas in Brooklyn earlier this year to become a two division unified champion.
He had previously held also titles at welterweight.
Kelly (19-1-1, 9 KOs) of Sunderland, England, became a world champion by beating Bakhram Murtazaliev in January. His only defeat came five years ago against David Avanesyan, a rival who Ennis has defeated.
Kelly defended his title against Caoimhin Agyarko in July and called for a fight against Ennis.
Promoter Eddie Hearn teased the fight as "The Road to Undisputed," with the winner in line to potentially face WBC champion Sebastian Fundora for all the marbles.
"What a fantastic unification fight this is," Hearn said.
"Boots and Josh are both brilliant World champions and this was not a difficult fight to make when you lay out what is there for the winner -- three belts around your waist and just one more to collect to become undisputed at 154 and lay the foundations to a legacy in the sport.
"There's so much incredible action still to come in 2026, but I already cannot wait for February 27, when one of these fantastic champions will take a giant step to landing a shot at becoming an undisputed World ruler in our first ever event in Atlanta.
"This is a night not to miss in person or live on TNT and DAZN."
