ByBoxing Press

Manchester’s European Champion John Murray and his “barmy army” will get there first look at his challenger Andrey Kudriavtsev of the Ukraine at the official weigh in when both fighters step on the scales at the Manchester Arndale this Friday 24th September.

Murray said “I’m expecting Andrey to be in great shape, he has had plenty of notice for this fight plus he only fought 4 weeks ago.”

The weigh in will commence from 3pm at the Exchange Court.

“Having the weigh in back at the fantastic Manchester Arndale is a big boost, I had great support last October for the weigh in with John Thaxton and it showed I had the backing of the people in Manchester.” A delighted Murray added.

Mick Hennessy, John Murray’s promoter said “I would like to personally thank the Manchester Arndale for all of their hard work and co operation with setting this up, it was a massive success last time and hopefully John will have the same support on Friday. If John can win in style on Saturday he will be on the verge of a major World title fight and I know he would love nothing more to bring that World title back to Manchester.”

General Manager for Manchester Arndale, Glen Barkworth, adds: “We’re looking forward to welcoming John Murray back to Manchester Arndale and giving fans the chance to see their boxing hero once more. His weigh-in last year certainly caused a stir in centre and I’m sure he’ll have the same level of support this time round.”

Also weighing in ahead of the exciting night of boxing will be Prize-fighter winner Prince Arron, former Commonwealth champion Paul Truscott, former British title challenger Josh Wale and hot prospects, Kid Galahad and Joe Murray.

Matchroom Sport and Hennessy Sports will promote the 12 round European title fight which will be taking place the following night (Saturday 25th) at the Robin Park Arena, Wigan. The fight will also be shown live on Sky Sports HD1 from 9pm.
