The Cumbrian super-welterweight boxer has already chalked up three victories amid an undefeated start to his pro career.
The former world amateur champion, who started out at Border City Amateur Boxing Club in Carlisle, will now be out to make it four in a row against Murray at the 3Arena.
So far in his pro career Carrigan has defeated Dawid Przybylski, Danny Costello and Harley Hodgetts in convincing style.
His latest fight features on a card that is headlined by Pierce O’Leary’s IBO World super lightweight title contest against Mark Chamberlain.

Carrigan’s opponent Murray has three wins and five defeats from his pro career to date.
Another Cumbrian boxing star, meanwhile, has confirmed the date of his next fight.
Carlisle’s Marc Haughan will face his fourth professional bout on September 19 at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens.
The Carlisle Villa middleweight had been due to fight at the VIP Boxing Promotions event last Saturday at Sunderland’s Rainton Arena, but the show was cancelled.
Haughan also has three wins from his first three fights.
