Career

Nurse made his professional debut in March 2008 with a win over Kristian Laight.[ citation needed ] After winning his first 20 fights, he competed in the Prizefighter tournament on 11 February 2012, losing in the final to Adil Anwar. [1]

On 15 February 2013 he stopped Joe Elfidh in the second round to take the vacant 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]

On 4 October 2014 he faced Dave Ryan for the vacant Commonwealth super-lightweight title, losing by majority decision. [6]

Nurse faced Chris Jenkins for the vacant British super-lightweight title on 18 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]

He successfully defended the title with a ninth round stoppage win over Willie Limond at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on 28 May 2016, [11] a unanimous decision success against Tommy Coyle at First Direct Arena in Leeds on 30 July 2016 [12] and a majority draw with Joe Hughes at Leicester Arena on 22 April 2017. [13]

In his fourth defense, Nurse lost the title to Jack Catterall by unanimous decision at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on 21 October 2017. [14]

Switching weight categories, Nurse challenged English welterweight champion, Ekow Essuman, at Harvey Hadden Sports Village in Nottingham on 16 March 2019, losing via majority decision. [15]

In what transpired to be his final fight, Nurse lost to Kerman Lejarraga by unanimous decision in a 10-round contest at Plaza de Toros de Puerto Banus in Marbella, Spain, on 8 August 2020. [16]

Having not fought since August 2020, Nurse announced his retirement from professional boxing in February 2025. [17]
