My sister, Jade Burden, is a professional boxer from the Isle of Man who has

dedicated her life to the sport she loves.

After weeks of intense training, sacrifice, and financial strain, Jade was just 3

days away from fighting for the Commonwealth Silver super-featherweight title, a

career-defining opportunity, but then everything changed.

Due to circumstances completely outside of both fighters’ control, the entire

event was cancelled at the last minute. That meant no fight, no pay and no

reward for the weeks of hard work, cost, and sacrifice.

As Jade said herself, “This isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s my livelihood… Weeks of

graft, sacrifice, money spent, everything put into this… gone just like that.”

At 34, Jade has poured everything into boxing, physically, emotionally, and

financially. Like many fighters, she covers her own training costs, including

training camps, nutrition and physio, travel and accommodation and now, after all

of that, she has nothing to show for it.

We are raising £6,000 to give Jade another shot at the title she has worked so

hard for. These funds will go directly towards paying her opponent and covering

sanctioning fees for the Commonwealth Silver title. This will allow the fight to be

rescheduled independently and ensure Jade gets the opportunity she has

earned.

Jade is one of the most dedicated, hardworking people I know. She doesn’t quit.

She doesn’t take shortcuts. She shows up, every single day, and gives

everything to her sport. But boxing can be unforgiving and moments like this can

end careers, not because of talent or effort, but because of circumstances

outside a fighter’s control.

We don’t want this to be the end of Jade’s story.

No matter how big or small, your support will help Jade get back in the ring, fight

for her title and continue chasing the career she has sacrificed so much for
