Again housed at Leeds' First Direct Arena, it will be back to the scene of a career-best triumph for Darlington's Williamson (22-4-1, 16 KOs), who trailed across all three scorecards before conjuring up a tenth-round knockout win of fan favorite Simpson.

He scooped the British, Commonwealth and European 168-pound titles with that stunning victory, though had to relinquish the latter as Team Simpson invoked their immediate rematch clause meaning he missed out on lucrative opportunities while waiting.

Among them was an IBF world title shot against now-champion Osleys Iglesias (15-0, 14 KOs) and a spot on the Tyson Fury-Arslanbek Makhmudov undercard, both in April.

The 33-year-old sounds glad to finally be fighting once more, after an original May date was pushed back.

"It's about time they got themselves ready and believe me, they have made a big mistake by activating the rematch. This fight cannot come soon enough. Callum Simpson: I've beaten you once, and on August 8, I will beat you again," he insisted in a press release Tuesday.

Simpson (18-1, 13 KOs) has revamped his team before the jeopardy intensifies again.

The Barnsley puncher parted ways with his longtime training setup in west Yorkshire and has begun working under highly-rated coach Rob McCracken in Sheffield. Having heard plenty of questions surrounding his future, including a move up to light heavyweight, he believes revenge will be sweet heading into his 20th professional contest.

"Troy had his night, but I'm coming to take back what's mine. I'm fitter, sharper and more determined than ever. He's done a lot of talking since the first fight, but now he's got to back it up. I'm ready to settle the score and remind people who Callum Simpson is," the 29-year-old said.

The pair will meet at an inaugural press conference from 11am ET/4pm BST on Tuesday afternoon in Manchester, live on DAZN socials and YouTube.

After five cards being shown across the free-to-air BBC platform, including iPlayer and BBC Two, the company will begin its second broadcasting deal in quick succession following the expiration of their four-year Sky contract.

This partnership will not impact BOXXER's existing shows on the BBC, with promotional founder and CEO Ben Shalom naturally excited about the news.

"We're delighted to be partnering with DAZN, the global home of boxing, to showcase this event to a worldwide audience. Leeds will provide an incredible atmosphere on August 8, and we're excited to build on this momentum with more major events on DAZN, including a huge BOXXER PPV event later this year," he said in the same release.
