On August 25 1995, Andrew Murray travelled to Cannet, France and took on Ike Quartey for the World Boxing Association (WBC) welterweight title but failed after Quartey turned up the heat to end the bout in the 4th round.
Murray was highly touted to win the bout after his then manager, Odinga Lumumba arranged for him to undergo a training stint at the Kronk Gym, Detroit NY, under the tutelage of the late legendary trainer, Emmanuel Steward. His shrewd managerial tactics had also earned Lumumba the WBA Promoter of the Year accolade.
Both Steward and Murray have since passed away but those memories live on. Kaieteur Sport dug into its archives and relived those memories and in this photo, Murray has his hands wrapped by Steward just before commencing a training session while his trainer, Colin Morgan and Lumumba pay attention.
