Cindy Ngamba, who will make her professional debut in London on March 7, hopes to fight for world title within a year.
The 26-year-old made history at last year’s Paris Olympics as the first member of the Refugee Olympic Team to win a medal.
Ngamba won bronze and the Cameroon fighter will now fight on Natasha Jonas’ unification fight against fellow Brito Lauren Price at the Royal Albert Hall.
“I’m taking each fight as it comes. I’ve accepted that I’m learning and I’m new to this game,” Ngamba told BBC Sport.
“I do have goals, which is to get as many experienced fights in my tools then set myself on a world title as soon as possible.”
Asked where she expects to be this time next year, Ngamba replied: “Be the main [boxer] on the card and fighting against a very good opponent that I can steal the world title away from.”
Ngamba has signed a “multi-fight” promotional deal with Boxxer and promoter, Ben Shalom described her as an “incredible athlete”.
She will make her bow on all-female card headlined by welterweight champions and domestic rivals Price and Jonas.
WBC lightweight world champion, Caroline Dubois, will also feature on the undercard, while Karriss Artingstall and Raven Chapman meet in a featherweight contest.
Super-middleweight champion Savannah Marshall is expected to be added to the undercard. -BBC
