Olympic champion Gable Steveson will fight Hugo Lezama on February 19 at Mexico Fight League 3 in Monterrey.
The unbeaten heavyweight has scored two rapid knockouts since his MMA debut last year.
Lezama, with an 11-3 record, represents Steveson’s toughest test so far.
Previous opponents entered with limited experience and were quickly dispatched.
Veteran Matt Brown believes Steveson could already beat elite heavyweights like Tom Aspinall.
Brown compared Steveson’s rise to Brock Lesnar’s rapid path to a UFC title.
