Jarrell Miller will fight Tony Yoka in Accra, Ghana on Dec. 20, Matchroom Boxing has confirmed.
American Miller (28-1-2, 22 KOs), the No. 1 ranked contender with the WBA, and Frenchman Yoka (15-3, 12 KOs) at the The Grand Arena in the Ghanaian capital.
Yoka won Olympic gold at the Rio Games in 2016 but has had a stuttering professional career so far.
The 34-year-old went 11-0 before suffering three straight defeats.
He came back with five wins in a row but has struggled for momentum in the last year. He was scheduled to fight Lawrence Okolie before the April bout was cancelled after the Brit returned a positive drug test.
In July, he was forced to withdraw from a WBA "regular" title clash with Murat Gassiev due to a back injury.
However, he will return in a big main event against Miller, who has title aspirations of his own.
"What a way to end the year. This is a serious fight and one that will cap an incredible month of Heavyweight boxing," promoter Eddie Hearn said.
"With AJ versus Fury to look forward to the weekend before, alongside David Adeleye and Leo Atang both in action the following night in Monte-Carlo, we are closing the year in style with the heavy hitters -- and the main event in Ghana will not disappoint.
"Jarrell Miller is ranked No.1 in the world, and a win over a tough, former Olympic Champion in Tony Yoka will undoubtedly set him up for some major nights ahead in 2027. It will be an absolute war."
