Both are in Portugal to compete in the Algarve Box Cup at the Pavilhao Municipal sports centre in Lagoa
Devine is due to fight later today, with Jade set to step into the ring on Saturday.
He’ll be fighting Irish international Adam Kelly.
She will take on the favourite, Italian fighter, Alessia Messiano, in the semi-final.
