Jade Burden’s title fight this weekend has been pulled.
The Grenade had been due to face Katie Smith for the Commonwealth Silver Super Featherweight Title in Portsmouth on Saturday.
However, in a update to her friends, family and supporters, she said the fight had “been pulled”.
She added: “Completely out of my control. The promoter’s had some bad health news and the whole show this weekend is off.
“I don’t even know what to say if I’m honest. I’m absolutely heartbroken. 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.
“I’m 34, living out of my overdraft, and it gets to a point where you have to be real with yourself.
“I love this sport, but I can’t keep going through this kind of uncertainty and heartbreak without thinking about what’s next and what my future looks like.”
