But doctors have pulled her from the card after the discovery of an “issue” during her pre-fight tests.
A Boxxer statement read: “Cindy Ngamba will not be making her professional debut on Friday night after a pre-fight medical examination revealed an issue requiring further medical attention.
“The health and safety of fighters remains the highest priority.
“And Cindy will undergo further tests in the coming days.”
Boxing fans took to X to discuss their dismay at the cancellation of Ngamba’s clash with Kirstie Bavington.

“Far too many scares in boxing to be taking the risk now.”
Another said: “Hopefully Ngamba makes a speedy recovery and the fight can be rearranged.”
And another said: “Don’t know about you lot but thats my friday ruined!”
One remarked: “Not an ideal start to a pro career on the eve of her debut.
“Hopefully nothing too serious.”
