Martin Murray to face Max Bursak in Monte Carlo

British middleweight Martin Murray will hope to move closer to another world title opportunity when he faces Max Bursak in June.

Murray has fought just twice since losing on points to WBC titlist Sergio Martinez 12 months ago, but the 31-year-old is scheduled to fight on a regular basis under new promoter Golden Gloves.

After he saw off the challenge of Ishmael Tetteh on Wednesday evening, the Mancunian will now meet Ukrainian fighter Bursak, who recently lost out to Jarrod Fletcher for the WBA international strap in February.

The 29-year-old has failed to win just three of his 32 professional encounters, while Murray moved to 27 victories in 29 matches with his triumph earlier this week.
