Noel Murphy plans title shot after first home pro win

New York based Cork welterweight, Noel Murphy, hopes to return to Ireland in the summer for an Irish title shot. He had his first professional win at home over the weekend.

Murphy had a dominant, eight-round points victory over Spaniard, Avelino Vazquez (4-3), at the National Stadium, on Saturday night.

That extended the 22-year-old’s undefeated record to 9-0 and it was his first paid fight in Ireland.
