With the headliners confirmed, Matchroom have announced that super featherweight Aqib Faiz, 13-1 (2), will face Michael Gomez Jr, 21-2 (6).
Both were in action on the same card in February, with Gomez Jr losing to British and Commonwealth super featherweight champion Reece Bellotti, and Faiz knocking out Lydon Chircop.
Faiz was also defeated by Bellotti, retiring in the eighth round as he lost out on the vacant Commonwealth strap in 2023.
Highly rated teenager Leo Atang looks set to make his professional debut on the card. His opponent is not yet named.
A super heavyweight in the unpaid code, Atang won eight of his 16 victories via knockout, losing just once as an amateur.
Such success brought Atang five national championships, as well as victory at the World Boxing under-19 world championships in 2024.
Pat Brown, who was spotted carrying Dave Allen on his shoulder following his stablemate's victory over Johnny Fisher last weekend, has also been confirmed as fighting on the card.
Having fought at heavyweight for Team GB at the 2024 Olympics, Brown made his professional debut in March of this year as a cruiserweight.
Brown ended his first fight as a pro early, stopping Federico Javier Grandone in the fourth round.
The 25-year-old had been slated to appear on Matchroom's show in Birmingham two weeks before, on the undercard of Shabaz's Masoud's clash with Peter McGrail.
Alfie Middlemiss is a Manchester lad with a perfect start to his pro career, with three wins from three fights that all went the distance. His opponent is TBA.
William Crolla is the most experienced fighter out of the three prospects currently without opponents.
The super welterweight, 8-0 (6), made his pro bow in 2023, and is no stranger to fighting in his hometown of Manchester, having fought at the AO Arena twice, the Co-op Live Arena twice, and the Bowlers Exhibition Centre once.
Crolla has not ventured far from Lancashire, with Liverpool the furthest he has travelled in his professional career.

Michelle Agyemang's youth team hails Lioness as girls' football enjoys boost
Michelle Agyemang's former youth club has praised the England striker's impact on the next generation of young footballers ahead of the Lionesses' Euro 2025 final. The 19-year-old Arsenal forward, who scored dramatic equalisers in both the quarter-final and semi-final, began her footballing journey at Brandon Groves AFC in South Ockendon, Essex. Roy Enright, 45, who manages the girls' team, said her legacy has led to a surge of new recruits. He said: 'It's great for the girls to see someone like Michelle who's played at the same club, from the same area, and from her hard work made it to the highest level. 'When I set the girls' team up in 2022, I started with zero players. 'When Michelle was here, she even had to play on the boys' team. 'Now I've got a squad of 20 girls at my age group and that has all come from the Lionesses – especially their success at the last Euros. 'Given that Michelle is from the area, played for the club, and is doing so well, we're getting even more girls joining up. 'That's the legacy she has left for us.' Terry Tisdall, 40, who manages the boys' under-11s, said: 'The girls are so proud of her – she's the star of the show. 'They used to wear shirts with men's players' names on and now they've all got Agyemang on the back.' Agyemang left Brandon Groves for Arsenal's academy when she was around 10 years old before becoming one of the most highly rated youngsters at the Gunners. She recently invited the Brandon Groves players to St George's Park, the home of the England team, so they could watch the Lionesses train. Mr Enright said: 'It meant the world to them – it just goes to show how Michelle cares. 'She was fantastic – she took the time out to speak to all the girls, take selfies and sign autographs.' Agyemang has become one of the Lionesses' stand-out players this summer after netting in the quarter-final and semi-final. Mr Enright, who works as a tech consultant, said: 'The impact is fantastic – there's so much excitement with the girls.' Mr Tisdall added: 'The WhatsApp group chat was going crazy when she scored those goals.' Agyemang, who only made her senior England debut in April, is now expected to feature in Sunday's final against Spain in Basel. And the girls from Brandon Groves will be watching the final together at a local social club. Mr Enright said: 'Everyone's so excited – we're all behind Michelle and it's going to be a fantastic day.'

Liam and Noel Gallagher pay emotional tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at Oasis gig in Wembley as they dedicate Rock 'N' Roll Star to The Prince Of Darkness after his death
Liam and Noel Gallagher paid homage to the late Ozzy Osbourne at night one of Oasis gigs at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday. The music legend, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, died on Tuesday at the age of 76 just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with Black Sabbath, with his family confirming the devastating news. The Gallagher brothers respectfully honoured the legendary rock star by singing Rock 'N' Roll Star in front of a huge image of Ozzy. In videos shared across social media of the tribute, Liam said: 'Liam said: 'I want to dedicate this next one to Ozzy Osbourne, Rock 'N' Roll Star'. MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Ozzy's grand country home as paramedics battled to save his life for two hours. Friends told the Mail's Alison Boshoff that his heartbroken wife Sharon may now bury Ozzy in the gardens of the 350-acre estate in an intimate family funeral, as she is 'too frail' to go through a larger, public service, leaving friends 'terrified' for her. A slew of famous faces descended upon the city to watch Noel and Liam make their iconic return to London to play their first gig in over 16 years. After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the Gallagher brothers took to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium. Comedian Rob Beckett and David Walliams were among the star-sudded arrivals eagerly waiting to get into the stadium. Rob got in the spirit wearing his Oasis merch, while Goldie and his wife Mika Price wore their casual outfits. Jeremy Kyle and his wife Vicky Burton were also in attendance as they enjoyed a romantic date night at the concert. Fans pitched up at the venue 12 hours before the start having paid at least £151 per ticket - but some have paid £564 or more for the best seats. The band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. They returned to perform at Wembley for the first time since July 12, 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour. After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the rock and roll stars, fronted by the Gallagher brothers, took to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium With five nights scheduled, the group posted door and stage timings on their Instagram account with an hour-by-hour breakdown of the evening, starting with the gates opening at 5pm. The night kicked off from 6pm with the rock band Cast, followed by singer Richard Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis then took to the stage for a two-hour set at 8.15pm. The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, receiving five star reviews from critics at The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park.

They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.
