BOXING MURPHY FIT FOR MONDAY’S BOUT
LONDON, April 2 Though he is still shaking oil a cold, Bos Mui;phy 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 on Monday. “I don’t know vet what I’m getting for the fight,” ho added. "My 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 Zealanders’ opponent at Whitsun. "I noticed that Hart is very good with his left, but he doesn’t use his right much,” said Murphy. “He’s, evidently afraid ol 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.
