“Genius” Joe Murray (5-0, 2 early) starts his second year in the professional ranks by returning to action on the Rob Norton and David Dolan rematch promoted by Hatton Promotions.

The fight will take place on the 15th of January at the Altrincham, Leisure Centre and Murray will face unbeaten Georgian George Mchedlishvili (5-0-1, 0 early).

All of Mchedlishvili’s fights have been in his native Georgia and the fighter will be an unknown quality to Murray and trainer Joe Gallagher.  Murray however remains positive he will keep his unbeaten start to the pro game.

“All I know is that he is Georgian and is unbeaten in six fights so someone’s ‘0’ has to go.  I am in great shape and have been in the gym over Christmas and will be (training) over my birthday so someone’s got to take the pain for it,” declared Murray.
