Frazer Clarke, OLYMPIC bronze heavyweight bronze medallist, will make his debut next month on the undercard of Amir Khan against Kell Brook.
After being ignored by Team GB at Rio 2016, the 30-year-old spent over a decade as an amateur, going with Joe Joyce as their heavyweight representative.
Clarke was awarded bronze in the rescheduled Tokyo Olympic Games.
He finally had his chance in Tokyo last summer and took it with both his hands. He won a medal at Games, but was unable to win the gold medal contest due to a bad cut in the semi-finals.
He has now signed with Anthony Joshua's management group 258 MGT.
He also signed a promotional agreement with BOXXER, which will see him fight for Sky Sports.
Clarke, Joshua's sparring partner for many years will be featured on the highly anticipated Brook-Khan show at Manchester Arena on February 19.
He said, "I am thrilled to make my debut on such an important night for British boxing."
"I am focused 100% on putting on an entertaining and spectacular show.
"Both Amir & Kell are legends, so to be under their covers is incredible.
"Manchester holds an important place in my heart. So to begin my journey in front their fans is special."
Clarke will attempt to emulate Joshua's footsteps by becoming a world champion in the heavyweight division.
The Staffordshire-born fighter has big goals as he starts a new chapter in his career.
He said, "World dominance is my plan. But it starts at home."
"You can see all the fighters, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, they all have great amateur pedigree. But to become professional world champions is the ultimate dream.
