Former junior welterweight champion Amir Khan will promote a boxing card in Nigeria in October.
The card will be headlined by cruiserweights Brandon Glanton and Rocky Fielding in Lagos.
Khan, 38, has turned his hand to promoting fights since his last fight -- a defeat to Kell Brook -- in 2022.
"I'm thrilled to bring world-class boxing and the world's eyes onto Nigeria for the first time," Khan said.

"This event is about more than just fights -- it's about inspiring a new generation and showcasing the heart and skill of Nigerian boxers alongside international stars.
"Lagos is ready to shine."
Having promoted a card in Ghana in June, Khan expects the Lagos fight night to be bigger and better.
"You can imagine it is going to be a big weekend for everyone," the Olympic silver medallist told ESPN.
"It's going to be a massive show. Brandon Glanton vs. Rocky Fielding... obviously we know that Brandon lost against Chris Billam-Smith and Rocky has been out the ring [since 2022]. I think it's a great fight.
Glanton vs. Fielding -- which will be held on Nigerian Independence Day on Oct. 1 -- tops the first major boxing card to be held in Nigeria.
Khan sees huge potential in Africa as a market for boxing.
"We're putting Africa on the map. In Ghana, we had a fantastic, fantastic show there," Khan said.
"Now you had the likes of Frank [Smith, Matchroom Boxing CEO] turning up in Ghana and to see what's going on in, [thinking] 'how could we maybe do something in Africa?'"
British light heavyweight Dan Azeez (21-2-1, 13 KOs), who has Nigerian heritage, will look to get back to winning ways on the undercard.
"Fighting in Nigeria on Independence Day is a dream come true. This is for my heritage, my people, and my pride" Azeez said.
"I'm ready to put on a show and honor Nigeria with every punch I throw."
