"Twenty years later, I'm fighting my biggest fan.
"Well, after what I have been passed through - lots of problems in my life, health problems, whatever happens in life you have to try push yourself to do whatever you want to do.
"I am excited for this event, I hope everybody will come and support me and I hope people enjoy."
Milligan - who vowed to knock out his football idol - added: "Twenty years ago Novo was my highest goal scorer on FIFA. Twenty years later I am now fighting Nacho Novo.
"I'm doing this for the kids who have doubted, for those who have got a dream.
"I was once a kid with Novo 10 printed on my back. But now I am going to have the referee counting to 10 with Nacho Novo on his back."
Further matches on the fight card have yet to be announced, but Milligan vowed an "insane" card has been scheduled with Novo to main event the night.
Tickets for the event are priced between £47.10 and £228.70.
