The anticipated rematch between former champ David Haye and Tony Bellew will meet in a heavyweight bout December 17, at the O2 Arena in London.
After a fiery pre-fight build-up, WBC cruiserweight world champion Bellew stopped Haye in the 11th round in their first meeting in March.
Haye injured an Achilles in the sixth round before falling to the third defeat of his career.
"I'll be victorious and end Haye's career. Another loss to me closes the curtain on the Hayemaker," said Bellew.
"I will have the exact same attitude I had going into the first fight - win at all costs."
Former WBA heavyweight champion Haye needed surgery following the defeat by Liverpool's Bellew, and has since split with trainer Shane McGuigan.
"Last time the script was thrown out the window and the unpredictability of sport revealed itself in its most raw form," Haye said.
"Bellew somehow won the lottery in our first fight, but believe me, he won't win the lottery twice.
"I've been training every day for over six months. I already feel fitter, stronger and more athletic than I did for our first showdown. I will relish the opportunity to re-write the ending of the Haye-Bellew story."
