The 23-year-old, who won the T44 100 metres title at both London 2012 and Rio 2016, will be hoping to add to the world title he won in the same discipline in Lyon in 2013.

He will return to London's Olympic Stadium, where he won his 2012 Paralympic gold after having to shush his home crowd before the final started.

"The London 2012 Paralympics were surreal," said Peacock. 

"To hear the crowd chant my name was amazing and I couldn’t believe I had to tell them to be quiet. 

"That gave me such a buzz on the blocks and look what happened afterwards. 

"I am incredibly excited to have the opportunity to go back to the Stadium and recreate that amazing moment at the World Para Athletics Championships this summer.

"It is a special venue and having a passionate British crowd behind you does give you that extra edge. 

"It is great as a British athlete to have that home advantage and I hope as many people as possible can come along to the World Para Athletics Championships this summer not just to support me but everyone on the team. 

"It will really make a difference to everyone’s performances."

Competition will take place in London between July 14 and 23 with the International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships following after from August 4 to 13.

The events are being staged in the same city in the same year for the first time ever.

Organisers have confirmed that 100,000 children will benefit from a ticket deal which was offered to London schools for the Para Worlds.

Tickets for both Championships have also been sold to people from more than 100 countries.

Championship director Niels de Vos said: "Today is a key milestone for us as organisers. 

"In exactly 100 days' time the summer of world athletics will begin with the first of 10 days and 16 sessions of world-class Para-athletics. 

"We are on course to deliver a fantastic World Para Athletics Championships and as organisers we are particularly proud of the work we are doing to engage children not just in London but across the UK.

"More than 100,000 schoolchildren from Newham to Newcastle to Hackney to Harlow are coming to watch the world’s best Para athletes at the end of term time and I have no doubt that they will all be inspired by what they see. 

"The summer of world athletics is also reaching all corners of the globe as proven by our 100th and 101st purchasing nations and we hope to see even more nations engage with us as the event draws closer. 

"Tomorrow the countdown will enter double figures and we are looking forward to welcoming the world in July and August."
