JOHN MURRAY is hoping to get the go-ahead to resume boxing after admitting he has had “a big fall from grace”.
A year ago, Murray was top-of-the bill at Madison Square Garden – but recently he has been working as a labourer. His 13-hour day routine helping to tarmac roads is a far cry from his challenge to WBA lightweight champ Brandon Rios last December. He is believed to have earned around £75,000 for that fight in New York where he lost a closely-fought encounter in the 11th round. [Click Here To Read More] |

John Murray got the Brandon Rios fight because Kevin Mitchell was banned by the police from going into america, he was a step in replacement for Mitchell. Last edited by chocolate; 12-29-2012 at 12:19 PM. |

i feel sorry for john but i do wonder if the injury is boxing related.i heard an interview he done with kuggen cassius for ifilm london and he didnt sound right,he sort of had a distinct mumble of the voice on some words which has to be worrying if your only 27!

Murray's a good domestic lightweight who'd serve well as a test for our better prospects coming through. I'd consider him better than domestic, European at his peak. Our lightweight scene is strong too so there are plenty of good fights that can be made, he should get himself back in the mix.
The only reason people are calling him whack or asking for his retirement is because either they bought into the hype or they're just cunts. No shame in being a domestic/European level fighter, especially in such a hot division. |
