Savannah Marshall will make her professional debut in the next few weeks.
The former world amateur champion, who was recently released by Team GB, is the latest emerging star to join Floyd Mayweather's growing stable.
Marshall, 25, is the second female fighter to sign with 40-year-old Mayweather, joining LaTondria Jones, the super-welterweight who is 5-0 with two early since turning to the paid code in October 2015.
She was the Commonwealth Games champion at Glasgow 2014 and ‘The Silent Assassin’ also won Britain's first women's boxing world championships.
And she will make her professional debut on August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, as part of the undercard to the 12-round super-welterweight showdown between Mayweather and UFC star Conor McGregor.
Marshall joins Stacey Copeland, Chantelle Cameron, Natasha Jonas, Nicola Adams and Katie Taylor in the paid ranks and will box on the Mayweather-McGregor card alongside Badou Jack, the former WBC super-middleweight king who is likely to face WBA ‘regular’ light-heavyweight title holder Nathan Cleverly, and IBF super-featherweight champion Gervonta Davis who is set for his second title defence.
