Boxing: Jamie Devine to make pro debut next month

He'll compete at same event as fellow Manxman, Mathew Rennie

Manx boxer Jamie Devine is set to make his professional debut early next month.

The former Manx ABC fighter will compete at Grand Central Hall in Liverpool on Friday, 6 October.

He'll appear in the same event as fellow Isle of Man athlete, Mathew Rennie, who currently boasts an unbeaten pro record of nine wins and one draw.

Rennie had previously been due to fight in May this year in Blackpool but was forced to withdraw due to injury at the time.

Among his other commitments, Devine represented the Isle of Man during the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham where he was only beaten on a split-decision by Abdul Wahib Omar of Ghana in the men's light-welterweight competition Round-of-32.
