Boxing: Jade Burden confirms date for second pro fight

'The Grenade' targeting second pro win in Blackpool

The Isle of Man's first ever female professional boxer has confirmed a date for her second showdown in the pro ranks in a few months time.

Jade Burden has announced she's due to return to the ring on 7 September at Winter Gardens Blackpool.

'The Grenade's opponent is yet to be confirmed.

Revealing the update on social media, her team says 'goal remains the same 2-0-0 and develop.'

Burden made her pro debut in the sport back in April with a points win over Sheree Barnes in a four-round contest at Grand Central Hall in Liverpool.

Previously she also became the first female boxer to represent the Isle of Man at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022.
