James Murray (boxer)

James Murray (7 December 1969 – 15 October 1995) was a Scottish professional bantamweight boxer.

On 13 October 1995, Murray was unknowingly a victim of a bleed in his brain; during the fight he fell to the floor of the ring and had a seizure.

This match was against Drew Docherty for the BBBofC British bantamweight title fight at the Hospitality Inn in Glasgow.

Prior to that, Bradley Stone died of a brain hemorrhage after he lost his fight for the BBBofC British super bantamweight title at the York Hall in London in April 1994.
