BOXING BOS MURPHY READY FOR MONDAY’S FIGHT
LONDON, April 2. Though he is still shaking off a cold, Bos Murphy declares that he is feeling "pretty good” and “getting on nicely” with his training lor his fight against Mark Hart at the Royal Albert Hall next Monday. “I don’t, know yet what I'm getting for the light.” he added. "Mv manager, Sam Burns, has been ill recently, and we haven’t had a chance to talk." Murphy saw Hart beaten by Dick Turpin—the New Zealander's opponent at Whitsun. “I noticed that Hart is very good with his left, but doesn t use his right much,” said Murphy. “Lie’s evidently afraid of it, since he broke it once. In view of this I may change over to the southpaw stance, which would help to neutralise his left, but I’ll have to make up my mind in the ring.” Murphy is hoping to have another fight at Harringay before meeting Turpin.
