Career
From Huddersfield, Nurse made his professional debut in March 2008 with a win over Kristian Laight. After winning his first 20 fights he competed in the Prizefighter tournament in 2012, losing in the final to Adil Anwar, his first defeat as a professional.Nurse was born to an English father and a Jamaican mother.[1]
In February 2013 he stopped Joe Elfidh in the second round to take the vacant BBBofC Central Area super lightweight title,[2] and in September 2013 was due to face Shayne Singleton for the vacant English title. Singleton pulled out of the fight after failing to make the weight, with Nurse beating late replacement Krzysztof Szot on points.[3] In April 2014 he got his title shot and beat Tyler Goodjohn by unanimous decision to take it.[4][5]
In October 2014 he faced Dave Ryan for the vacant Commonwealth super lightweight title, losing narrowly on points.[6]
With the British title having been vacated by Willie Limond, Nurse faced Chris Jenkins for the title in July 2015 at the Manchester Arena, the fight ending as a majority draw.[7] They met again in November with Nurse getting a unanimous decision to become British champion.[8][9][10]
