Robbie "The Flurry" Murray aka Robert "Casper" Murray born in Dublin is a professional boxer.[1] He usually fights at light welterweight or the divisions either side.
Murray is the cousin of Irish middleweight champion Jim Rock and boxed as an amateur before turning professional in November 2001, winning his first fight at the National Boxing Arena in Dublin, in which Murray beat fellow debutant Peter McIlwaine on an undercard that included Steve Collins and Eamonn Magee.
Although a native Dubliner, Murray, like his cousin Rock fights out of the Breen Gym in Belfast. Murray is a former Irish Light Welterweight Title holder which he won in a points victory over 10 rounds against Peter McDonagh at the National Stadium, Dublin, Ireland.
