The pair will face off for the Riverina super middlewight title (75-78 kilograms) staged over three, two minute rounds.
Hasler is trained by his father, Kevin, and has recently made a comeback to boxing after taking time off to play soccer.
The 24-year-old has two bouts for two victories since returning.
The bout between Albury boxer Michael Englert and Melbourne based Sacha Peters in the light welter weight division (60-60½ kilograms) is the other title up for grabs.
Englert previously trained as a kick-boxer but has focused on boxing this year and outpointed experienced Wellington boxer Matthew Hyde at the Commercial Club in May.
The title bouts will be supported by an undercard of locally trained fighters over various weight divisions including Marcus Dittko, Tom Sharp, Andre Holumbiyevskyy, Callum Seinor, Nicole De Jong and Sarah Fletcher.
“There should be a good range of talent on show,” promoter Graeme Melbourne said.
Sam Navagero will be master of ceremonies and ring announcer with a memorabilia auction to be held at the interval.
Gates open at 6pm with general entry $20 and bar service and hot food available.
Ringside seating is also available at $50 a head but must be pre-booked by phoning 0408 166 822.
