“I thought we won by three rounds and picked up a lot of mistakes on both sides and if I do my homework and put Michael right I would go as far as to say I think we will win by TKO next time.”

Devine has 10 wins and one defeat from his pro career, while Naylor has won three, drawn two and lost 16 of his 21 fights.

The pair are due to meet at York Hall on Saturday, June 29.
