Amir Khan was due to challenge for Kotelnik's WBA Light-welterweight title in London on Saturday June 27, but the battle has now been reorganized for Saturday July 18.
The battle will take place at the Manchester Evening News (MEN) Arena.
Khan said: "I'm delighted that the fight is still on, and when 18 July comes I will never be more ready for him although, the postponement is a pain.
Khan added: "I was looking forward to headlining at the O2 Arena again as I have a lot of fans in London.
"I always get a great reception there so hopefully I can go back sometime soon, maybe for my first defence.
"I had a great night at the MEN Arena against Barrera last time out and now I aim to win the world title against Kotelnik there, too."
Fans who have bought tickets for the fight at the O2 Arena are enquired to return them to their point of purchase.
