The pair will meet on the main card of CW London live from Indigo at the O2 on June 27th.
Bagley (8-1) will be making the first defence of his title since capturing gold in the main event of CW 200 Dublin as he upset home favourite Solomon Simon in his own backyard.
The Ukrainian, who fights out of London, was able to dismantle the former champion over five rounds with an impressive display of wrestling over five rounds.
Lee (15-10) has long been calling for a shot at Cage Warriors gold, having defeated top contenders including DWCS veteran Damon Wilson.
The Englishman is coming off arguably his best win and performance to date after submitting Inglesson de Lara in the very first round of the CW 201 Unplugged main event.
“It feels right to be fighting for the belt at this point. I’ve paid my dues and I feel like when I win this fight, it proves who the best featherweight outside of the UFC is, said Lee
“I made the title shot undeniable and my next performance will make a UFC contract undeniable.”
Meanwhile, Nik Bagley is looking forward to the prospect of fighting at home as a champion for the first time.
“Silencing a hostile crowd and winning the belt in Dublin was defining and unforgettable, but defending my title in London will be a homecoming where I deliver an explosive statement in front of my people,” said Bagley.
Further bouts are set to be announced in due course.
