The Belfast fighter has been a successful kick boxer before now trying her hand at boxing.

And McAleer is looking forward to getting down to business.

“I am excited and nervous at the same time. It comes in bouts of – ‘I can’t wait it’s going to be unreal atmosphere’ to then seeing how big the support is and thinking ‘it’s really happening, I’d hate to let anyone down’.”
