MARTIN Murray got his hands on one title this week – but his eyes are fixed firmly on his own success.
Saints-supporting Murray lifted the Super League trophy, won by his favourite team at Old Trafford at the weekend, when he staged a press conference at Langtree Park to promote his next fight.
Murray tackles Domenico Spada in Monte Carlo a week on Saturday.
Murray said: “My preparation for this fight has gone really well, the nutrition, the strength and conditioning, I'm really looking forward to going fighting next Saturday and showing that I'm one of the best middleweights in the world.
“I've tried to get quite a few top names over to Monte Carlo to fight me but it was only Spada who accepted it so he's the man standing in my way.
“I've got to go and beat him to keep my dream alive of being the first boxing world champion from St Helens.”
