Shawn Murphy ... at The Sweet Science

Shawn Murphy hails from Potomac, Illinois. He started watching boxing at the young age of 6 and remains a fanatical fan of boxing from the 1960-1980s era. His interest is retired fighters from this period and he makes it his mission to keep them out there in the news. Murphy’s interviews have appeared on dozens of sites and he writes a monthly column titled “Where Are They Now” for the publication Boxing Collectors News. He is a member of the International Boxing Research Organization and also the American Association for the Improvement of Boxing. He is also a proud supporter of the Retired Boxers Foundation. Murphy hopes to pass his love for the sweet science on to his son. He would love to hear from fans who share his passion for the retired fighters and always welcomes suggestions for future interviews. Murphy can be reached at smm1@advancenet.net.
