Mark Potter

[Old bones Ian]

He's just posted on social media that he's in hospital after having a tumor removed from his vertebrae, still awaiting the outcome of the tests on it.

hope he's ok

[jimmystone]

All the best, Mark! Can't remember if it was here or ESB he used to post on way back when. He's a good bloke. Coincidentally my pal has a similar thing, in his case the tumor is benign and they don't seem in any mega rush to get the op done because it's such a tricky/risky op and it's barely growing. Unfortunately Mark's sounds like a far more aggressive case. Cancer is shit.

[orbtastic]

Best of luck. He’s a big old lump is potter, he was sitting near me at the York hall once.

[dookus]

Awful news. Hope he's alright and best wishes for his swift recovery.

[Terminator666]

Blimey- probably thought he’d just pulled a muscle initially

[rhino222]

Good lad is mark. All the best buddy. Go and smash this bastard, be it benign or not, its still a shit place to get a tumour.

[knockout]

Hoping is he ok ! Potter always a good dude !
Get well soon big guy

[Coco]

[margaret thatcher]

[Oiky]

Yes, he’s a hard man. He was good at British level mma also. A bit too brutal.

[handsofstone]

All the best, I wish him a full speedy recovery

I think he did MMA as well. A true warrior

[Monzon83]

Jeez, that's grim, all the best to the Shark.

Used to train at the same gym as him in North London. Always friendly but i wouldn't want to take a right-hand from him, he was a proper unit.

Fingers crossed for him and hope he makes a good recovery.

[Fray Bentos]

Good luck and hope he beats this latest opponent, a really good fighter back in the day, one of my favourite domestic heavyweights and very unlucky not to be British champion.

[bennie]

Mark was a really good fighter and I always enjoyed his fights. His first-round dismissal of Butterbean in an unlicenced showdown must rank as the longest three minutes in boxing history. Mark outboxed, outpunched and outclassed Butterbean in that round. Best wishes, Mark.
