By Scott Gilfoid: In response to the news from the Daily Mail that a fight offer had been made to Martin Murray, IBF middleweight champion Felix Sturm took to twitter to deny that any offer whatsoever had been made to the 31-year-old Murray for a fight. Ouch, that’s got to hurt Murray, because a fight between him and Sturm would have at least given him a chance to capture a world title at 160.
Without Sturm throwing him a bone, Murray is faced with bleak prospects of capturing a strap. I mean, what do think is going to happen when Murray eventually has to make a decision whether to fight WBA champion Gennady Golovkin or not? If he takes the fight, Murray will almost surely get knocked out.
