Olympic bronze medal winner Frazer Clarke is hoping to follow in the footsteps of another British Olympian, former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Clarke and Joshua are friends - with Frazer signing an agreement with Joshua's management company, 258.
Clarke, who turns pro in 2022, also signed a long-term promotional deal with BOXXER and Sky Sports.
"[Joshua] messaged after the Olympics, congratulating me, and when I signed with 258, obviously that brought us a bit closer together. He was over the moon for me and happy for me," Frazer told Sky Sports.
"I've made it quite clear that's someone whose career I'm really trying to emulate. I've seen it from day one and I've seen the work he's put in, and the way he's progressed. The way he was moved and matched was, for me, one of the best careers I've seen unfold in boxing. I've been a boxing fan for a long time.
"He's on the end of a phone and he's one of those people that have been there and done it. I'd be silly to have that access to him and not use that advice. Definitely that will be a phone call I'm looking forward to."
Promoter Ben Shalom of BOXXER is planning to move Clarke, 30-years-old, a bit faster than a normal prospect due to his age and amateur background.
"He's got everything to go all the way. There's champions around, but he's going to be coming through. In the next 12-18 months, there's going to be big opportunities for him," Shalom said.
"He's got all the experience he needed and he got his Olympic medal, which he always wanted. He had a lot of wins in the amateurs. He won Commonwealth gold, he's now got his Olympic medal. The timing is perfect."
