Double Olympic gold medallist Adams won the interim title in October against Mexico’s Isabel Millan and next fights Mucino in her attempt to become a world champion in her sixth professional fight.

Adams, 36, who made her professional debut in March 2017, said of the fight: “Winning a world title is what I got into professional boxing for and I believe it is my destiny to do so and ultimately unify the flyweight division.

“To get this opportunity after just five professional fights is an achievement in itself and I am so thankful to my promotional team for making it happen.
