Aadam said: "It is an amazing opportunity for my debut, I am super excited and thank you to everyone that has come out and for the support.

"I am really looking forward to getting out there and showcasing my skills.
"I have been training for a long time and the only question I have been getting asked is 'when are you turning pro?' or 'are you going to actually fight?'
"And August 26 you are going to see that."
Frank Warren promoted Prince Naseem during his heyday and he has landed his son the opportunity with him also working with Dubois.
