You will be able to see the shocked Murray when the story will air in the next week or so on UTV's magazine programme every Friday evening.
The kickboxing lynch-pin Murray was shocked but honoured: " Wow, I didn't see that coming and genuinely had no idea what was going on. Suddenly the door opened and a TV camera crew walked in to the gym. I was about to yell get out, as I don't like being interrupted when I'm teaching. It was a good job I didn't and made an exception. I truly was totally blown away that someone would think to nominate me for a people's award. I'm totally shocked and over whelmed, Thanks to all involved.
