Well done for the first fight !!!
As for warming up, it doesn't have to be complicated. Simply get your body to the right temperature by shadow boxing, star jumps, skipping etc, then take your joints through their full range of motion (active stretching), then a bit of pad work.
In simple to terms, before a bout, the main aims of a warm should be to a) get your body to the optimum temperature so that your muscle are able to effectively extract oxygen from your blood. b) Mobilize your joints / reduce the chances of injury. c) Mental preparation.
