Klitschko lost in five rounds to Brewster

The Ukrainian will be seeking revenge against the American, who knocked him out to win his WBO crown in April 2004.

Klitschko, whose brother Vitali ended his retirement earlier this year, won the IBF belt last April by beating another US fighter, Chris Byrd.

He retained his crown last month when he stopped America's Ray Austin in the second round in Mannheim.

Klitschko (48-3 with 43 KOs) had voiced his intention to fight Nikolay Valuev, but the Russian lost his WBA title in a points loss to Uzbekistan's Ruslan Chagaev on Saturday.

He said: "This chance for revenge against Lamon Brewster is a dream come true.

"He is without a doubt an extremely dangerous opponent, but I always hoped for a chance to redeem myself."

Brewster (33-3 with 29 KOs) has not fought since losing the WBO title in April 2006 to Sergei Liakhovich by a unanimous decision.

He said: "I will knock out Klitschko again, and then no one will be able to say the first win was a fluke."

In their first bout, Klitschko knocked down Brewster in the fourth round, but he was saved by the bell.
