Providing support on the undercard is Benn, son of British boxing legend Nigel, who will fight unbeaten Indian star Faizan Anwar.
The middleweight, 26, is 9-1 while Anwar, 21, is a 13-0 prospect.
Global Titans announced the bout and revealed anti-doping tests will be in place.
A statement said: “The Middle East Professional Boxing Commission has requested a full Anti Doping testing regime for this bout.”
That comes following the news of Benn’s brother Conor failing a pre-fight drug test ahead of his catchweight clash with Chris Eubank Jr.
Conor, 26, returned an adverse finding for the banned substance clomifene in a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association test.
The substance, usually used to treat infertility in women but can increase testosterone in men, is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
It led to the British Boxing Board of Control refusing to license the bout set for Saturday, which was eventually called off by promoters.

Conor, who did past the British Boxing Board of Control-governed UK Anti-Doping tests so will not be suspended, protested his innocence.
He said: “I am truly gutted we are unable to make this fight happen on Saturday and I am sorry to everybody who has been affected by this postponement.
“I am still shocked by this and shocked by this, and it has been a tough couple of days.
“My team and I will consider the next options including rescheduling the flight, but my immediate focus is on cleaning my name because I am a clean athlete!”
Eubank Jr, 32, who was ready to fight, slammed Conor in a series of posts.
He tweeted: “Conor got caught using an illegal substance so the fight is off. Can’t believe it.
“I really apologise to the fans & everyone that bought tickets, travelled & booked hotels, this should not of happened.
“He has escaped his schooling… for now.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches are more powerful than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers can take many different stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Sparring
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
Learning to box takes dedication and patience. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
