FIGHTER Gary Murray is still in hospital and is said to be in “a stable condition” after his bout with Patrick Gallagher on Friday.
The fight between welterweight Murray, 30, and Gallagher, 28, at Edinburgh’s Meadowbank Sports Centre was subject to a stoppage.
Promoters MTK Scotland provided an update on the Coatbridge man’s condition on social media.
“Gary was taken to hospital following his 10-round contest on Friday night,” they said.
“The doctors discovered an injury which required immediate attention.
“Gary remains in hospital with his family. He is in a stable condition and we shall provide further updates when we can.
“We ask that everyone keeps Gary in their thoughts at this time. Our thoughts are with Gary and his family.”
Murray’s bout– his first defeat – was on the undercard of fellow Scot Gary Cornish’s loss to Norwich’s Sam Sexton, who took the British heavyweight title.
