St Helens boxer Martin Murray will go up against Sergio Martinez in the ring to contest for the WBC middleweight title.

The 30-year-old, who is promoted by retired fighter Ricky Hatton, will have a second chance to claim the belt following his controversial draw with Felix Strum last year.

"These are very exciting times for Martin," Sky Sports News quotes Hatton as saying. "It has been a work in progress for him.

"I am very proud of the job Hatton Promotions have done with him. I think that it is a credit to Hatton Promotions for making make such fights for him. We have come a long way in a short space of time."

Murray, who won his bout against Jorge Navarro last month, will enter the ring in Argentina on April 27.
