The next course to kick off for new beginners starts Tuesday 16th March at 8.30pm at the ProKick HQ in east Belfast and will work through the fundamentals of fitness, elements of self-defence and come up with a diet for those serious about getting in shape. “It’s time to lose those extra pounds and get fit,” said Murray.

“At ProKick we have a long reputation for taking everyone who comes through the doors and finding a regime that is right for them.

"We've trained world champions and those keen on burning off a few extra pounds. It’s a fun way to get healthy and it’s open to absolutely everybody.

"Kickboxing isn’t just about getting into a ring – it’s a great way to get in shape and stay in shape.”

Murray himself is testament to the benefits of the ProKick regime. At 47-years-old, the former world champion made a ring comeback in 2005 and won in triumphant style in the Ulster Hall. His final bout was a fund-raiser for cancer charities.
