Glasgow light- welterweight Willie Limond will defend his Commonwealth title against British champion Curtis Woodhouse at Braehead Arena on June 27.
Victory for Limond over Woodhouse, who clinched the domestic belt with a split decision win over Darren Hamilton in Hull in February, will earn him a Lonsdale Belt outright.
Limond said: "I am thrilled to be getting the opportunity to fight for the British title again.
"I don't know Curtis personally, but I like the way he goes about his business. He's completely dedicated and he comes to fight, and that means this is going to be a great night for the fans."
The bout will take place on the undercard of Coatbridge favourite Ricky Burns who will have his first fight since losing his WBO lightweight title in March.
