YOU could forgive Sean Murphy if he was bitter with boxing. The flame-haired
British featherweight champion has literally shed blood for the sport. He estimates
that some 40 stitches have closed the various wounds that mark his pugnacious
face.
He's fought his heart out in two British title "wars" against Gary de Roux and,
Just recently, against Alan McKay. Yet he's seen fellow professionals like Frank
Bruno, Lennox Lewis, Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn talking telephone numbers
when they consider their next ring outing while he - who's fought harder than all
of them - has precious little to show for all his efforts.
But Sean isn't bitter. Far from it. In fact, he's actually content with his lot.

will take its place. On a national level there Is now in existence a Canadian Boxing
Council trying to rival the recognised national organisation, the Canadian
Professional Boxing Federation.
On April 14, in Toronto, Marc Leduc won recogniation as the Canadian Boxing Council
