Devine set to face mandatory Commonwealth title challenger Commey

He will face Goergian Tornike Tortladze, who has an even record of three wins, three losses and one draw, at York Hall Bethnal Green on March 8 before potentially facing unbeaten Ghanaian Richard Commey at the same venue on March 22.

“However, if i don’t get what I think it’s worth it might not happen! But it will put us where I think we are going.”
