“In my career, I’m known to be a bit of a showman. The truth is that I’ve been following the cryptocurrency space for a while, and it’s been interesting to see the rise of NFTs and how the world is embracing blockchain technology. I’m a big fan of Lympo and what they are doing through their athlete partnerships, and couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of it.”

Murphy’s Career:

Sean Murphy has been playing snooker on a professional level for over 20 years. He first began playing at 8, when his family bought a snooker table. He already had sponsorship at the age of 13 and was playing professionally by the age of 15.

He became known for his straight cue action and long potting, which earned him the nickname “The Magician.” He was born and raised in the UK and has earned over $4 million (GBP) in prize money. One of Murphy’s huge milestones was the fact that he won the 2005 World Championship, where his odds before the tournament were 50 to 1.

Murphy continued to win all sorts of championships and tournaments and is known for being a bit of a showman. He is also only the second person in history to whitewash an opponent at the world championships, which he accomplished in 2019 against Luo Honghao. He remains one of the highest-ranked snooker players in the world.
