Devine buzzing for his first title
Luton boxer Michael Devine is buzzing at the prospect of winning his first title this weekend, writes Mike Simmonds.
The 23-year-old takes on Dan Naylor over 10 rounds for the vacant BBBofC Southern Area super featherweight title at York Hall.
He said: “I was delighted when my trainer told me I had the chance to win the title, I’m buzzing for it now.”
Standing in Devine’s way is Naylor, 26, who hails from Great Yarmouth but is now living in London.
The 26-year-old won his second bout in October 2011, before losing 14 from his next 15.
Two wins and a draw in his last three fights has improved his career record to three victories, two draws and 15 defeats from 20 bouts.
