Former amateur star Sandy Ryan<\/strong> is promising to make a big statement on her introduction to the paid ranks this Saturday at Matchroom Fight Camp in Brentwood, Essex by becoming the first person to stop Kirstie Bavington<\/strong>, live on Before The Bell. <\/strong>
 
The 27-year-old Derby boxer, who claimed gold at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and silver at the 2014 World Championships, had been one of Team GB\u2019s leading medal hopes for the rescheduled Tokyo Games before deciding to turn professional with STN Sports in March. 
 
Following a glittering amateur career, Ryan will start life in the pro ranks campaigning at Super-Lightweight with trainer Clifton Mitchell, and the Midlands talent is ready to target World Titles with an ultimate ambition of fighting at the home of her beloved Derby County Football Club.
 
\u201cTo be successful and one of the best female fighters in the world is my goal,\u201d said Ryan<\/strong>. \u201cI\u2019ve got the right team around me and I believe I can achieve that. I was going to turn pro after the Olympics but when they were postponed, I took the decision to turn over. I feel like it\u2019s the right time and I\u2019m ready to go all the way. 
 
\u201cI was on the GB squad for nine years. I went to every major tournament besides the Olympic Games. I went to the World Championships and won a silver medal, European bronze, European Games bronze and Commonwealth Games gold medal. All this experience will help me massively in the pro game. 
 
\u201cEach day that passes I get more and more excited. I can\u2019t wait for my debut, every day I visualise my ring walk, getting in the ring and smoking the girl.
 
\u201cI said to my manager, \u2018I don\u2019t want a walkover, get me a good opponent\u2019, and they delivered with Kirstie. I looked on YouTube and watched a few of her fights, she seems game and she\u2019s coming to win which is exactly what I want. I didn\u2019t want to do a four rounder in my first fight so I\u2019m going straight into six rounds.
 
\u201cI\u2019ve done this for many years, but the pro game is very different. Every fight and camp I will learn and develop, and the journey is only just beginning. I want to be up there, in years to come when people talk about women\u2019s boxing, I want my name in the same bracket as Katie Taylor.
 
\u201cI have massive dreams to fight for a World Title at Pride Park, the home of Derby County FC. First things first I want to make a big statement at Fight Camp. The girl has never been stopped before so let\u2019s see!\u201d
