British super-middleweight Martin Murray says that he will be fairly treated by the judges when he faces WBO champion Arthur Abraham in Germany on Saturday night.

British super-middleweight Martin Murray has said that his reputation in the sport should ensure that his WBO title showdown with Arthur Abraham is scored fairly.

In 2011, Murray was denied the WBA crown after officials controversially scored his bout with Felix Sturm as a draw, but four years on, and having proven himself at world level, the St Helens fighter is confident that whoever deserves victory this weekend will be awarded the verdict.

The 33-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I'm not worried about that. Some people thought I beat Sturm, some thought I just got beat and some thought it was a draw. It was one of those. It was a little bit too close to call.

"Even though I'm against the judges this time, I'm not some kind of unknown quantity that they can rip off and nothing will be done about it. I'm an establish and proven world class fighter now so I think the fighter will be scored fairly.

"I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a reason. My fate is in my own hands and I'm more confident than ever this time and I want it more than ever this time, too."

Saturday's contest will be Murray's fourth attempt to win a world title, with his other failed efforts coming against Sergio Martinez and Gennady Golovkin.
