BoxNation lands Murray fight

UK specialist boxing pay-television channel BoxNation has reached a deal to show the fight between British middleweight Martin Murray and Max Bursak of Ukraine, which is taking place in Monte Carlo on June 21.

Murray is a two-time world title challenger and his narrow defeat when challenging reigning WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez in his native Argentina was televised by BoxNation last April.

Martinez’s eagerly anticipated defence against Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto will be shown live by the channel this weekend.
