Wednesday 27 January 2016 10:22, UK
Josh Taylor and Scott Fitzgerald will feature on the undercard of the Carl Frampton v Scott Quigg Sky Sports Box Office clash in Manchester.
Fitzgerald will make his professional debut while Taylor (3-0-KO3) will box in his fourth contest. Both fighters won gold medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Opponents are yet to be announced.
"I'm absolutely delighted to be appearing on this massive Sky Sports Box Office show at such an early stage of my professional career," said Taylor.
"Boxing on the undercard of my stablemate Carl Frampton on a huge night for British and Irish boxing will be a special moment in my career. I want to be headlining shows like this one day."
Fitzgerald added: "I cannot wait to make my professional debut on such a huge bill. It was a blow to break my thumb ahead of the November date, but that is behind me and I am raring to go now.
"I couldn't ask for a bigger stage to get my career going, and I am looking forward to putting on a great show for the fans."
The 25-year-old Taylor won light-welterweight gold in his native Scotland two years ago, while Preston fighter Fitzgerald triumphed in the welterweight division.
