It’s been a long two years for Karo Murat since first promised next dibs at an alphabet title. A combination of travel issues, TV dates freeing up and planned fights falling out has limited the 30-year old to just one fight since fighting to a 12-round draw with Gabriel Campillo in their Oct. ’11 rematch.
All told, Murat has seen the bar adjusted four times before finally landing a showdown with Bernard Hopkins, challenging the future Hall of Famer on October 26 in Atlantic City. The bout marks his first piece of ring action in 16 months.
In that span, he has watched at least one title shot fall through the cracks, in addition to a planned stay-busy fight in June followed by the Hopkins fight being rescheduled twice, leaving his ring activity to an obscure stoppage win last June in Denmark.
So what’s a man to do to prevent from going crazy? Just train and hope for good things to happen. [Click Here To Read More]
