Manchester fighter John Murray is aiming to follow in the footsteps of Ricky Hatton and conquer America on Saturday night when he faces Brandon Rios.The 26-year-old, who has already held British and European titles, now takes a big step up to world level when he faces WBA lightweight champion Rios at Madison Square Garden in New York.
"This is by far the biggest bout of my career to date," said Murray.
"To be fighting in the 'Mecca' of boxing, Madison Square Garden, for the world title is the whole reason
I got into this sport in the first place.
"If you don't want to have nights like this then there is no point being in this game. I've fought over in America in the past and have won each time, so I aim to continue that run on December 3rd against Rios.
"Hatton had many great nights in America and I hope that I'm the next Manchester fighter who can win there."
Murray's last bout was a cracking encounter against British rival Kevin Mitchell, which the latter won, but he feels that he has come back stronger from defeat and it will help him beat Rios.
Murray knows that if he is to bring the world title back to Manchester with him, he will need to be at his best against the unbeaten American.
He said: "Rios is a very good fighter and is the champion for a reason, he is very good coming forward, but at times he tends to neglect his defense a little bit and I'm going to try and exploit that and keep myself tight.
