The grudge match is set for September 10 where the fighters will appear on the undercard to Kell Brook’s showdown with Gennady Golovkinthe.
Hall will be seeking revenge after losing to the Haskins in a 2012 European level bout. Hall went on to lose the belt in 2014, before Haskins picked it up on home turf in 2015.
