Cathy McAleer admits she is getting used to the hype and expectation surrounding her burgeoning professional career.
The Belfast bantamweight is Northern Ireland's only professional female boxer.
She also recently linked up with Kellie Maloney, who previously worked with heavyweight world champion Lennox Lewis.
McAleer will have her fourth professional bout in Birmingham next Saturday, February 22.
She will face Martina Horgasz at Aston Villa Football Club's Holte Suite.
Speaking to Belfast Live Sport, Cathy said: "It was quite nerve-racking training with everyone watching you today.
"It is different in a fight, but it was good and it is great having so many people supporting me.
"Training has been going great and sparring has been fantastic. We are ready for February 22."
Cathy added: "It feels brilliant having a professional team on board and someone who has a set goal in place.
"And for those people to have the same belief and goal I have, it means a lot.
"I am always very hungry for success, but to have this team behind me has taken things to a different level."
McAleer has started her pro career with three straight wins, including a stoppage win over Cristina Busuioc last time out.
But she has been forced into a period of inactivity after two opponents pulled out of scheduled bouts last autumn.
"My opponent has changed again, but it seems a very good opponent," McAleer said of Romanian Horgasz.
"She has had 11 bouts so it should be a tough fight. It is a test, and fighting away from home is different.
"But I bring a big crowd so it should be great."
