Audley Harrison's ninth professional bout will take place in London on 8 February.

Harrison is unbeaten in eight fights

The Olympic super-heavyweight champion returns to home soil after making a successful American debut in November.

Harrison stopped American Shawn Robinson in the first round of their Atlantic City fight.

"Hopefully my fans and critics alike will have seen that in 2002 I have showed continued improvement in terms of stamina, punching power and technique," said the Briton.

"There are some great domestic match-ups that can be made for me and throughout the latter part of next year you can expect to see fireworks."

Announcements on the venue, opponent and undercard will be made early in 2003.
