The 36-year-old Juggernaut had been expected to face Joseph Parker this September, only for the Kiwi to back out after joining Sky Sports.
The 13-0 Brit has had a frustrating year out of action following a broken arm, and will do battle with respected Romanian-born Hammer.
The 34-year-old boasts an impressive fight record having faced Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin and Luiz Ortiz among others.
He most recently went the distance with WBO number three Frank Sanchez.
