20/07/2009
Manchester law firm JMW Solicitors LLP have announced they have agreed to broker sponsorship deals for an up-and-coming Manchester based boxer.
Former British Lightweight Champion, John Murray, who is undefeated in 27 fights, will be represented by JMW's sports law team, led by Head of Sport Ben Haworth, who will advise him on issues relating to sponsorship, merchandising and endorsement deals.
John is trained by Joe Gallagher in Denton and has previously been a sparring partner for Ricky Hatton. In October 2006 John was awarded the highly-acclaimed Young Boxer of the Year Award which has previously been held by the likes of Ricky Hatton, Frank Bruno and Barry McGuigan.
Scott Stapleton, Player Management Executive in JMW's sports law department said:
"We are thrilled to be working with John Murray who is an extremely talented boxer and has a bright future. He has got an exciting couple of years ahead of him and we are sure we will see him in an important title fight in the near future."
