Lucas, who is based at Shellharbour, made his professional debut on an undercard fight prior to the Daniel Geale/Jarrod Fletcher bout at the Hordern Pavilion, Sydney in December.

Lucas sealed his debut win when he landed a strong body shot on Queensland southpaw Travis Barton in the third round.

He said that it was a major learning curve in preparing for future professional fights, and he learnt a lot about the style required to succeed in the professional ranks.

"It was a great experience and I was able to spend some time preparing with Daniel (Geale), sparring and working in the gym with him," Lucas said.

"The transition between amateur and professional fighting has been challenging, but I am continuing to learn and adapt to the different style of fighting."

Lucas travelled to Glasgow last year as a member of the Australia Commonwealth Games team, where he suffered a disappointing second round exit.

An enormous lead-up to the games featured Lucas competing in more bouts than anyone else on the team, leaving him drained after the tournament.

However, when he returned, Lucas decided to make the step from amateur boxing to professional.

His first aim was adapting his boxing style to suit professional fighting.

"In amateur fighting, it's more of a hit and move style; you get your points and then try and hold your lead through defence.

"Professional fighting is more about breaking guys down, trying to stop them and hopefully dominate them.

"It involves more head movements and being more aggressive ... really concentrating on knocking guys out."

Lucas said the transition between his amateur style and professional approach has come quite naturally, but admits it has taken some time to adjust.

"There have been a few subtle things that we have had to change, and it has taken quite a bit of time in the gym but it feels more comfortable fighting this way and it has all come along really quickly," he said.

The 25-year-old said he now has to focus on implementing these changes and taking what he has learnt in the gym and putting it into practice during professional fights.

"I want to fight as regularly as I can this year, so I'm hoping for about six or eight fights in 2015.

"We are definitely going to put on a show down here in Nowra, whether it be in April or May we don't know, but that's our aim."

Lucas' opponent for March 6 is yet to be announced.
