In 2009, Joe made his pro debut against SID RAZUK in a bout
that took place in England in March '09 this followed with bouts in
Las Vegas, USA and Manchester, England. Also had four pro fights
in 2010 including a victory in Dagenham, Essex.

Joe is the brother of British champion JOHN MURRAY and is
joined-up with HATTON PROMOTIONS. Joe is managed
by former boxer MICHAEL MARSDEN of Leeds. Marsden also manager
of such boxers as John Murray, Sean Hughes and Paul Truscott.

THE OLYMPIC EXPERIENCE - TEAM ENGLND 2008

For young Joe Murray, the Olympic experience was bitter sweet.
The Sunday Times hit the right note with the headline:
"Joe Murray suffers defeat after judging controversy

The team boxing coach went one step further and was quoted by
the Guardian with the headline August 12, 2008:
British Coach Blasts Judges After 'Stupid'

Regardless of the results, Joe and his teammates can be proud
of their representation of England and their communities.
