    Bit of a strange one this, you would have thought either Matchroom or Frank would have been interested in signing him especially as he has a good ranking with the WBO and IBF.

    Never heard of this African outfit Golden Gloves although they were the Promoters of those Monte Carlo shows featuring GGG and it looks like that's where Murray will be fighting next on their June and November cards there.

    Hearn and frank probably were interested and he told them to get lost. Just because your British doesn't mean you got to sign for British promoters.

    Strange one this considering boxing rankings are a lot of the time based on a promoters influence and power in the industry

    Big pay days ahead and if all runs smoothly a fight with GGG, can see exactly why he signed on the dotted line.

    His visa situation has really fcuked him so he probably has no choice if he wants to get GGG as Hearn wouldn't be able to get him to come over nor would he be able to get kid chocolate which would only mean sturm in Germany again for peanuts which he clearly didn't fancy.

    He's said it gives him financial security for his family, doubt eddie or frank offered him a mill for 3 fights

    Nope, Murray dodged that bullet too.
    The WBA stripped Martin Murray of his WBA Interim title.

    He has signed because of the signing fee and security it helps bring no other reason the VISA situation a big ongoing problem.
