Lawrence Okolie is targeting domination of the cruiserweight division as he prepares to make his professional debut against Russell Henshaw on March 25, live on Sky Sports.
The 24-year-old became the first 2016 Team GB boxer to turn pro in January and will get his first taste of action in the paid ranks on the undercard of Anthony Crolla's rematch with WBA world lightweight champion Jorge Linares at Manchester Arena.
Okolie said: "I want to dominate the division. I'm not afraid to let the other cruiserweights know that I'm here and I am coming for them
"I have all the physical and mental attributes to achieve it, I just have to get the experience and the real belief - not self-belief because I have that - but real belief from getting out there and getting in with someone that has trained to beat you.
"They're hitting you with 10oz gloves, that's when I'll learn a lot about myself and get that real belief that I can go on to do great things."
Henshaw (7-3 KO2) is likely to provide a tricky opening test for Okolie, but the London-born fighter is confident he can handle the pressure and deliver a good performance.
"Everyone is excited to see how I do - and I am too," Okolie said.
"I believe that I can do the business but I am stepping into the unknown, it's really exciting. It's a great bill to start on and Russell is a really good test for my debut.
"I'm really happy that there's so much interest in me and my Olympic team-mates.
"We handled a lot of pressure in Rio and to qualify for it - you know that if you lose in the qualifiers you aren't going to get to go to the games and then when you are there, you know that millions of people are watching you.
"So I've learnt how to deal with handling the weight of expectation and still performing to the best of my abilities, and that's going to stand me in good stead in the pros."
