Wil, 23, who is in a relationship with his Love Island co-star Uma Jammeh, has fought muay thai to a high standard and will now transfer some of those striking skills into the ring.
Back in October, Wil signed Summit Sports and Supreme PR and announced his hopes for a Misfits boxing career.
He said at the time: “I’m excited to embark on my boxing journey. Training with Samm at Churchills, alongside Neraldo Ymeri, to help prepare me for my debut in the boxing ring, is a privilege, and I can assure you I mean business.”
The fight announcement comes just days after Wil challenged professional dancer and reality star Curtis Pritchard to a dust up.
Wil mocked Curtis over his cringeworthy Hollyoaks cameo and branded him a “fool”.
The call out happened after Curtis told Sunsport that he wants to do “some boxing” now his dancing career has cooled off.

He also told Boxing Buzz Hub he would be keen to fight several Love Island stars in the ring.
In 2019, he laced up the gloves with the help of his fellow Love Island star Tommy Fury for a telly series called The Boxer and the Ballroom Dancer.
Tommy, 25, coached him for a white collar bout – which he won on points.
Speaking to Sunsport this week, Curtis said: “I’ve always been into fighting and boxing and all of that stuff so it’s something I’ve always wanted to do as a kid.
“But dancing was my main career at the time and you couldn’t balance when you’re doing it at a very high level.
“I’ve always been into fighting and boxing and all of that stuff so it’s something I’ve always wanted to do as a kid.
“So I feel like now I’m at a different place in my life and I thought, let’s do some boxing. Let’s do something I’ve always wanted to do and get in the ring.”
He said he has his eyes on Sammy Root and Davide Sanclimenti, who used to date his girlfriend Ekin Su Culculoglu.
