Professional career

Camara made her professional debut on 30 March 2017, scoring a four-round unanimous decision victory against Heidy Martinez at the Montreal Casino in Canada.
After compiling a record of 7–1, she faced Melissa St. Vil for the vacant WBO-NABO female lightweight title on 8 February 2021 at the Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana. Camara lost via ten-round UD with two judges scoring the bout 96–94 and the third scoring it 97–93.
After an eight-round UD victory against Heather Hardy in May 2021, she faced reigning champion Kali Reis for the WBA, IBO, and vacant WBO female light welterweight titles on 19 November at the SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire. In her first attempt at a world championship, Camara suffered the third defeat of her career, losing via ten-round split decision with one judge scoring the bout 96–94 in favour of Camara while the other two scored it 97–93 for Reis.
Camara scored the biggest win of her career to date when she defeated the previously unbeaten former two-weight World champion Choi Hyun-mi to claim the vacant WBA female lightweight Gold title by split decision at Ajou University, Suwon, South Korea on 27 April 2024.
She challenged WBC and IBO female lightweight champion Caroline Dubois at Park Community Arena in Sheffield, England, on 11 January 2025. The fight ended in a technical draw at the start of round three on the orders of the ringside doctor after Camara suffered a cut to her left eye caused by an accidental clash of heads.
Camara challenged Chantelle Cameron for her interim WBC super lightweight title at Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York, on July 11, 2025. She lost by unanimous decision.
