Jamie Devine also victorious on big night in Blackpool

Isle of Man pro boxer, Jade Burden produced an explosive knockout win on her return to the ring in Blackpool last night (6 September).

Fighting for the first time in nearly nine months, 'The Grenade' delivered a first-round knockout against pro debutant Sydney Chambers at Winter Gardens.

The victory also extends Burden's professional record in the sport to three wins from her first three bouts.

Elsewhere, it was also a night to remember for fellow Manx pro boxer, Jamie Devine who managed a sixth-round stoppage win over Darwing Martinez.

That stretches Devine's undefeated tally at pro level to nine wins from nine fights.
