Anybody seen him fight and is he any good?
Has already fought in six different countries.
His Boxrec rating puts him somewhere between Eubank Jr and Billy J Saunders.

He is a good fighter, I would say better then his brother Ronnie, good body puncher, fought in different countries, so got some experience for a prospect, don't know about Irish Prospect though, was he not born and bred in Newcastle ? I know he has an Irish manager and fights in Ireland sometimes, plus maybe he has Irish heritage like a lot of people over here, but if his brother is an English prospect, then I guess he is ? I do like him though, will like to see him in bigger fights.

I thought the Heffrons were from Manchester way? Their sisters Frankie Gavin's mrs (presumably they met when he trained up there)

Him and his brother have had completely different career paths, though their styles are alike, I think Mark has more power.

He shed a bit of a rust with an eight round win in Dublin last weekend. The show promoter was his manager Gary Hyde. Not sure what route they are planning to take him.
