This great shot was from the front of the G-Mex centre in Manchester a couple of days before Nigel Benn's fight with Hector lescano.. Featured on here are Nigel Benn, heavyweight Michael Murray ,Tony Ekubia and Liverpools Sugar Gibilru.. Benn beat Lescano in 3, while Gibilru lost to Paul Harvey on points.. Heavyweight Murray knocked out Steve Gee in 7 rounds.. Ekubia however didn't even box on this night.. Michael Murray was a dark horse, he boxed Herbie Hide twice once for the British heavyweight title , beat highly ranked Markus Bott in his own back yard in Germany, lost in the fastest stoppage in British history when he got a dislocated shoulder in 9 seconds of the first round... Michael fought John Fury twice, John is the father of Heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury.. Sadly Michael died in 2011.
