The GB squad will entertain Morocco Atlas Lions at York Hall in London, in a Group B clash.

It will be their first appearance at the venue since last year's semi-finals when they beat Astana Arlans Kazakhstan in May.

Lionhearts then went on to lose the final 9-1 to Cuba Domadores to finish as runners-up.

Rio 2016 Olympian Galal Yafai will take his place for the hosts against Morocco with the British side boasting a record of one victory and one defeat.

He reached the last 16 in the light-flyweight competition in the Brazilian city in August and secured a comfortable points victory over Federico Serra in the Lionhearts' opening 3-2 defeat to Italia Thunder in Rome.

British bantamweight Peter McGrail will also compete on home soil alongside compatriot Conor Loftus who will make his WSB debut at light-welterweight.

Hungarian middleweight Zoltan Harcsa and Croatian heavyweight Joesp-Bepo Filip complete the Lionhearts squad for the best of five contest.

The Moroccan line-up is yet to be finalised, with the African outfit going into the clash on the back of two defeats.

"I always enjoy boxing in the WSB and it is great to be back at York Hall which is one of the best places in the world to watch the sport," said Yafai.

"We have made a decent start to the season and have a good record against Morocco so I am hoping that we can put on a performance for the fans and secure another win."

The second Group B contest in round three will take place on Thursday (March 9) and will see Italia Thunder look to maintain their 100 per cent record against France Fighting Roosters.

France will host the clash at the Salle de la Palestre in Cannes.
