Daiki Kameda, the middle brother of Japan's infamous 'brat pack' boxing family, will challenge Thailand's Denkaosan Kaovichit for the WBA flyweight title in October.
Kameda will be making his second bid for a world title in Osaka on October 6 and his first since he was banned for a year for violent behaviour in a failed bid for the WBC crown in 2007.
"I'm happy to finally get another chance to fight for the world title," the 20-year-old said.
"Now all I have to do is take care of business."
The Samui island-based Denkaosan, who will be attempting a second successful title defence, is 12 years Kameda's senior and has a record of 47 wins with one loss and one draw.
The outspoken Kameda has won 13 of his professional fights with only one defeat - against fellow countryman Daisuke Naito in a WBC fight that ended in farce and multiple suspensions.
Kameda, who had branded Naito a "cockroach" in the build-up to the fight, was banned for a year after picking up the champion and slamming him to the canvas.
