Boxing’s Hall of Fame

Andrew Alphonso Murray Jnr.

By Eion Jardine

The late Andrew Alphonso Murray Jnr., lived for boxing.

Boxing wasn’t just a sport, it was a passion, an addiction almost, that Murray Jnr., just could not get enough of.

He ate, slept and dreamt boxing until finally boxing consumed him, caused his death actually.

At a time when he was just about to embark on his second career after retiring as a prize fighter, Murray Jnr., died tragically in a car accident on January 26, 2002 whilst he was making plans to promote a boxing card in Linden.

Reports are that he was returning from Linden alone when his car skidded off the Linden Highway and went over a bridge. He was eventually rescued and taken to the hospital but later died.
