The rematch between Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn has now been confirmed.
In the original bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April, Eubank Jnr won via unanimous decision.
The pair will face each other again on September 2, with the venue yet to be decided.
Their fathers Chris Snr and Nigel Benn clashed twice in high-profile fights in the 1990s.
As reported by The Independent, it is possible that the rematch between Eubank Jnr and Benn could be held at Tottenham's stadium again.
However, there is also a possibility that it could be staged at Wembley Stadium.

Last month Eubank Jnr discussed his reunion with his estranged father on the night of his fight against Benn.
Speaking on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Eubank Jnr explained: 'On the subject of my father, regardless of what he said about me and about the fight, he was there when it mattered the most.
'And that means everything. I didn't know he was going to come. He called me. He texts me the day before the fight, the night before the fight. He said 'call me when you see this.'
'So, I saw the text and I thought you know what? We are less than a day away.... this is the night before the biggest fight of my life.
'A couple of hours go by, maybe nine, ten o'clock, I'm like 'you know what, I've been through so much s*** these last two months, what more could possibly be thrown at me?' At the end of the day, he's my old man. He's text me, I'm going to hear him out.
'So, I call him. I was about to go to sleep and I thought 'I'll call him.' As soon as he picked the phone up, there was a tone in his voice that I hadn't heard for years. It was a tone of happiness, likeness, joy, 'hey, how you doing son? What's going on? How're you feeling?'
'I said 'how am I feeling? When have you worried about how I'm feeling? I'm good dad, everything is cool. Just getting ready to go to sleep. Got a big day tomorrow.' He said 'yeah, I know you've got a big day tomorrow and I want to be there for you.''
