Arthur Abraham, who was born in Armenia but who lives in Germany and who is nicknamed King Arthur, had been successful in defending his title for the sixth fight in a row against fellow Armenian Khoren Gevor in August.
Birmingham-based Wayne Elcock had improved his status in boxing with his 18th professional victory a unanimous points triumph against Howard Eastman in September to win the British middleweight title.
And Arthur Abraham is well aware that he has a worthy opponent and said: "It will be a hard fight against a strong opponent."
Arthur Abraham added: "Elcock last defeated a strong Howard Eastman so there is absolutely no reason to underestimate him."
Arthur Abraham's promotional team have suggested that his next fight could be staged in the US.
