She made her debut at Saturday’s Fight Camp at Matchroom’s Brentwood HQ

Jama, 26, is seen arriving at Matchroom HQ in a glamorous black suit and strolling towards the impressive mansion.

The camera pans to an aerial shot of Fight Camp at the Brentwood estate with Jama heard saying: “Your boxing, your way, live on DAZN.”

Jama captioned the post: “Def up there in my top introductions in life.

“Need to work on my slow mo walk but the first night of Fight Camp was incredible.

“Big up everyone that watched & said lovely things.

“Entering a whole new world is never easy but I can not wait for the next show this Saturday.”

Jama ventured into sports presenting over the summer alongside BBC favourite Peter Crouch.

The pair fronted ‘Crouchy’s Year-Late Euros show’ and they have already been snapped up for a World Cup equivalent in 2022.

Jama made her DAZN debut on Saturday alongside sports presenting royalty Laura Woods.

She will feature again this weekend as Kid Galahad’s clash with Jazza Dickens for the vacant IBF Featherweight title headlines a packed Saturday card.

After her weekend debut, fans online were loving Jama’s contributions.
