Murray, a proud east Belfast man who grew up in the shadow of the Harland and Wolff docklands where Titanic first set sail from in 1912, Murray was keen to see his Prokick Gym play a part in the ship's fascinating tale.
He said: "We always have a theme for our shows that have been running for more than 25 years - and there's no ignoring the theme for our wonderful city of Belfast in 2012, the Titanic.
"I grew up on stories on the great ship and now I am proud to associate our historic sport with one of the most gripping and enduring events in world history.
"We will have a special Titanic themed event in which the top Irish kickboxers will showdown with international class - and every fight will have a title on the line."
Murray kicked off promotions for the June 10 Thai-tanic event at the famous Harland and Wolff Drawing Offices, where Titanic was first drawn and planned, and on the doorstep of Belfast's new visitor attraction, Titanic Belfast.

He added: "There's a real sense of pride in Belfast now about Titanic and being in those Drawing Offices leaves hair standing on the back of the your neck. It's a proud occasion and Prokick fighters will make the city proud when they represent it in June."

Glad to hear Davey is ok , both fighters trained exceptionally hard and it could have been anyone’s on the night.
We all had a Great! time in Belfast, and look forward to bringing Prokick over in September .
