The Poole boxer will be up against Eggington in front of a home crowd, with his opponent previously holding the IBO Super-welterweight title, as well as the British, Commonwealth and European welterweight titles.
In his last five fights, Eggington has been beaten twice – by Dennis Hogan and Abass Baraou, but he beat Alan Sebastian Velazquez on points last time out in November.
The Birmingham fighter featured on the card as Chris Billam-Smith beat Lawrence Okolie to take the WBO World Cruiserweight title back in May 2023 at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth.
Cutler also featured on that card, beating Stanley Stannard on points, as Eggington beat Joe Pigford by TKO.
