PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) "Celebrity Boxing" wasn't a one-time thing for Tonya Harding.
The former Olympic figure skater will make her debut as a professional fighter before the Mike Tyson-Clifford Etienne bout on Feb. 22.
After pummeling Paula Jones on the Fox show "Celebrity Boxing" in March, Harding said she's ready to get into the ring for real.
"It is my goal to be a future, undisputed bantamweight champion. My proven athletic ability and competitive nature will help this dream become a reality," the 31-year-old said Tuesday at a news conference with Tyson in Tunica, Miss.
Organizers said an opponent for Harding hasn't yet been lined up.
