Press Release: Lightweight John Murray hopes a win over fellow unbeaten lightweight John Fewkes next week will lead to a British title shot. Murray (23-0) is expecting a tough first defense of his English title against Fewkes (17-0) when they meet at the Nottingham Arena on a Hennessy Sports show on May 10, 2008. But the 23-year-old, who won the English title with a win over Dean Hickman in November, believes the experience of boxing in Las Vegas twice last year will ensure he keeps his undefeated record and bring him closer to challenging British champion Jon Thaxton. He said: "It was a great experience to be part of the build up on two fantastic shows, boxing on the undercard of Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather and then the night before Ricky Hatton-Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas. I learnt a lot, like how the top boxers conduct themselves in and out of the ring. John Fewkes is a slick boxer and he is coming down a weight, so I’m just going to stick to my boxing." Murray-Fewkes is part of a blockbuster bill, which features Junior Witter making the third defense of his WBC light welterweight title against Timothy Bradley.
