By Scott Gilfoid: #4 WBC Martin Murray (27-1-1, 12 KO’s) will be fighting for the vacant WBC Silver middleweight strap against fringe contender Max Bursak (29-2-1, 12 KO’s) on June 21st this month at the Casino de Monte Carlo Salle Medecin, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
If the 31-year-old Murray wins the Silver strap, he feels like he should get another crack at WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez or get a fight against Miguel Cotto if he comes out victorious in the Cotto-Martinez fight this Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York.
By Scott Gilfoid: #4 WBC, #5 IBF, #13 WBO middleweight contender Martin Murray thinks that IBF/WBA super middleweight champion Carl Froch (32-2, 23 KO’s) will come out on top in his fight on Saturday night against George Groves (19-1, 15 KO’s). Murray, who failed in his own title shot last year against WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, thinks that the 36-year-old Froch has enough left in the tank to defeat the 26-year-old Groves despite Froch’s advanced age. But Murray sees it as a fight that will be a close one.
By Scott Gilfoid: #4 WBC, #6 IBF, #13 WBO middleweight contender Martin Murray (27-1-1, 12 KO’s) will be fighting #8 WBA Max Bursak (29-2-1, 12 KO’s) in a slight step up fight for the 31-year-old Murray on June 21st in Monte Carlo. Murray is still being taken slowly after his loss to WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, and it seems that they’re going to take the safe route with him after Murray won a controversial 8 round majority decision against journeymen Sergey Khomitsky last December. 
By Scott Gilfoid: #4 WBC, #6 IBF, #13 WBO, Martin Murray (27-1-1, 12 KO’s) defeated little known journeyman Ishmael Tetteh (29-11-2, 16 KO’s) by a 7th round stoppage on Wednesday night in a less than spectacular performance at the Emperors Palace, Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa. Tetteh didn’t come out for the 7th round. However, it’s hard to understand why Tetteh didn’t continue fighting because he was the one landing most of the punches in the fight. 
By Scott Gilfoid: #4 WBC, #6 IBF, #13 WBO, Martin Murray (26-1-1, 11 KO’s) will be in action this Wednesday against journeyman Ishmael Tetteh (29-10-2, 16 KO’s) in a scheduled 10 round fight at the Emperors Palace, Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa. For the 31-year-old Murray this is another rebuilding fight to get him ready for an eventual title shot against WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin at some point in the future. 
By Scott Gilfoid: After a narrow win over 39-year-old journeyman Sergey Khomitsky last December, #7 IBF Martin Murray (26-1-1, 11 KO’s) will be back in the ring on April 23rd of this month to fight journeyman Ishmael Tetteh (29-10-2, 16 KO’s at the Emperors Palace, Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa, according to promoter Rodney Berman’s twitter. It’s hard to understand why Murray would want to fight someone with a record like Tetteh, especially when Murray just finished fighting another journeyman in Khomitsky last December.
By Daven: It really was a strange 2013 for two time world middleweight challenger Martin Murray (26-1-1, 11 KO’s). The year started as promising as he could have hoped for. Taking Sergio Martinez to the scorecards in the most hostile of territories is no easy feat; Matthew Macklin and Darren Barker can testify to that and they fought him in USA. Moreover Murray knocked down Sergio three times yet the judges scorecards seemed to ignore this sensational accomplishment, nonetheless Murray’s performance was probably the finest of all British boxers in 2013 when faced with foreign opposition.
By Stephen Davis: So Martin Murray has split from Hatton promotions. After statements from Hatton promotions and from Murray himself via twitter. Hatton stated that Murray had offers on the table from both WBA champ Gennady Golovkin and IBF champ Felix Sturm, again it depends what these offers were, at the moment nobody wants to fight Golovkin and to be honest why would you when your main aim is to win a world title. Golovkin is red hot at the moment. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Hatton Promotions sent out a press statement today saying that middleweight contender Martin Murray (26-1-1, 11 KO’s) and them have parted ways. They say that there were offers for Murray to fight WBA 160 lb champion Gennady Golovkin and/or a rematch against IBF champion Felix Sturm, but Murray wouldn’t pull the trigger to ink a contract with either of them. They felt that those offers were only going to be there for a limited time before these two champions moved on and found other opponents.
