Manx fighter looking to win Commonwealth Super Featherweight Title in Portsmouth
Isle of Man professional boxer, Jade Burden will take on her first ever title fight in less than two months' time.
The Manx competitor will face Katie Smith for the Commonwealth Silver Super Featherweight Title on Saturday, 11 April at Portsmouth Guildhall.
Ahead of what will also be her first contest of 2026, Burden enters this year with a perfect professional record so far of four wins from four, including one knockout.
Her most recent fight was a points win over former English and Commonwealth title contender, Linzi Buczysnkyj in Blackpool in November last year.
Meanwhile, Smith - the reigning Commonwealth Silver Super Featherweight Champion - will go into April's showdown with a pro tally of four wins and one defeat, including one knockout victory.
Smith's only loss so far came in her most recent fight against Jasmine Noemi di Felice in Italy in April 2025.
