James DeGale's world title fight against Andre Dirrell will take place in Boston on May 23.
The super-middleweight is aiming to make history by becoming the first Briton to win Olympic gold and a professional world title.
Standing between DeGale and the vacant IBF belt is an American known as The Matrix, a man whose sole fight to date at world level ended with a split-decision defeat to Carl Froch in Nottingham back in 2009.
Dirrell will have home advantage after the outcome of purse bids spared him a return trip across the Atlantic, and DeGale knows the size of the challenge ahead.
