Joe Gallagher has revealed fighter John Murray may have quit his stable.

Lincboxing can exclusively report the hugely highly-rated trainer has not seen the Manchester-based lightweight since his blockbuster clash with Gavin Rees was officially announced last month.

Gallagher, who trains a string of unbeaten fighters such as Scott Quigg, Callum Johnson and Scotty Cardle, believes Murray is training somewhere but insists it certainly is not inside his gym.

"John Murray just hasn't turned up in the gym," Gallagher told Lincboxing. "From what I gather he is training, but not with me.

"I haven't seen or heard from him since the fight with Gavin Rees was announced.

"The last thing he said was he didn't want to fight Rees. He wanted the winner of Ricky Burns and Kevin Mitchell. But now he seems to have gone the other way and accepted the fight with Gavin.

"I don't know what's going on.

"Whatever happens between now and then, it will be a juicy fight between two very good fighters as far as I'm concerned."

Murray (38 wins and two losses) will fight European champion Rees (37 wins, one loss, one draw) at the Alexandra Palace, London on December 8.

Wow. That's pretty bad on Murray's part. I seem to remember him bitching after the Mitchell loss, quitting the gym for a while. But not even letting Joe know what the score is is pathetic

He was training with his manager Mike Marsden when he (briefly) left Gallagher before.

Probably best for murray's career, to go with someone who can actually teach him head movement.

still a very cheap move on his part to not inform gallagher of anything though.

John has done this because of Gallagher's treatment towards Joe Murray. Basically Joe has left his previous manager and Gallagher demanded that Joe signs a contract for Gallagher to be his manager or he would be kicked out of the gym, which has happened because Joe wouldn't sign the contract

He doen't know yet. He's moved down to Wales with his bird and she's due to give birth in December so he's going to start finding a gym after the baby is born. That is if he does come back, he was at one point thinking about packing it in

be a shame if he did jack it in, he should find a new promoter and start over i think, new gym new promoter he could still have a run at it

I sure he's left Hatton, they've breached his contract. It was in the contract that they had to have him out at least 4 times a year, so he will be looking for a new promoter as well

What a prick.

I think there's more to this. Did he get paid by John because that took a long while to resolve.

That was only after the Mitchell fight because John hadn't been paid by Warren for a long time, but as soon as he had he paid Gallagher. He paid him straight away for the Rios fight. Gallagher is a cunt, the way he speaks about people is disgusting, and the way he thinks he is better than people as well. He is just a horrible person

Do you know of him personally?

Many slagged off Crolla and Murray on ESB and I said it was solely down to Gallagher, he has that style he gets fighters to follow and its one-dimensioal. Macklin, Murray and Crolla all fight the same way and have poor defence. Head movement and fighting at natural strengths is what he shoudl teach but instead he adapts fighters into his style. He has too big a stable imo and it's showing because he does little to work on negatives it seems.

He fell in love with that undefeated stuff I think, I wish all UK trainers the best of luck but Gallagher needs to change because he's ruining his fighters. Burnout, beatings and losses are what I see for his fighters futures.

Yeah I know John. I completely agree about Gallagher, if you look at each and everyone of his fighters they're all susceptible to an uppercut, even fighters he's took on, look at quigg for example he adopted the Gallagher defence. Gallagher's main problem is his stubbornness, he thinks he's right all the time and won't change for anyone. Also Gallagher makes everything about him he's a very petty man, you were spot on about that undefeated streak because he thought it made him look a better trainer

I thought it was hilarious when they got Anthony Crolla to show how to defend against uppercuts on that Sky How To Box show.

Very poor form by Murray, at least have the decency to give the man a call and let him know.

Last time he left Gallagher he sent him a text message a week later, really is the sign of a prick.

 

[Lunny]

Seems pretty childish not to let him know what's going on.
