Martin Murray’s fight against Felix Sturm will be held at the SAP Arena, Mannheim, Germany, many of Martin Murrays Barmy Army are wanting to come over to support him so here are a few details of the venue.
As yet no packages have been sorted for the Barmy Army however we will let you know if we can get this sorted. In the mean time you may want to know a bit about where the WBA Middleweight fight is taking place. In Felix Sturms home ground of Germany the SAP Arena has room for 15000 people and is used for events from concerts to sport and December the 2nd will be hosting the WBA Middleweight fight in which we are hoping Martin Murray can bring the world Championship belt back to Britain.
Being in Germany, Martin will have to win convincingly especially if it goes 12 rounds like the Macklin vs Sturm fight where Sturm won by points.
The SAP Arena in Manheim is easy to get to via tram and main roads from the city centre.
To fly over to the fight you will need to book tickets to City Airport Mannheim – MHG or Frankfurt Airport FRA which is about 30 mins to Mannheim, you can probably get good deals from Liverpool or Manchester and some of the other airports around the UK depending on where you live.
Being a big city that hosts a lot of events like boxing you can book into one of many travelodge style hotels in the area and we will update the Facebook and Twitter if we find any good deals.
Mannheim airport only has internal flights and Liverpool airport doesn’t fly to Frankfurt. So a flight from Manchester to Frankfurt then high speed train to Mannheim is the best option . Flight approx. £175 Rt train fare €25 euro
