Unbeaten rising star Murray hunting hat-trick

ANDY MURRAY will be hoping for a quick hat-trick when he touches gloves with Hungary’s Laszlo Robert Balogh on the Yanjing Beer Fight Night at Neptune Stadium in Cork on Saturday night as part of “The Undefeated’s”.

The unbeaten Cavan star has to be one of the world’s busiest professional boxers. The European No 3 and reigning Irish Lightweight champ stretched his perfect record to 20 wins with 11 KOs on the undercard to Paul McCloskey’s European title fight in Belfast the weekend before last when he scored a second-round stoppage over the normally-durable Jon Baguley.

That was the second bout in a three-fight run that started in on the undercard to the Andy Lee-Mamadou Thiam fight in Limerick last month and will culminate in Neptune Stadium on Saturday night.
