He's a big unit, would like to see him fight again.

I spoke with Mark the other day as I was concerned that he wasn't getting ring time. I'm fully aware of the trials a pro has if they haven't got one of the big 2 promotors behind them and getting ring action and having to hold down a full time job is difficult. Mark told me as in the interview that he gets offered fights but only is given a couple of weeks notice which isn't always good. As I said to him it's ok getting 2 weeks notice to fight someone like Babic if you aren't bothered about winning but if he gets injured it could also mean several weeks off work which wouldn't earn him a wage.

It's frustrating for him as he can't commit to full-time camp while he has his own business up and running. This is what Mark needs is a definite date and opponent so he can get fight fit and have a 50/50 chance of beating someone like Webb or Babic.

I think ideally he would like a return with Webb then a crack at the English title.

Mark just doesn't want to be the away fighter and have a few weeks notice and take a beating for a few quid. He's a genuine honest guy who wants tonight this best ability and given the chance to do so.

Covid hasn't helped him as a lot of boxers so its frustrating for every boxer at the moment.

How do you know the Markster?

Purely through region of where he lived and just got to speak with him regularly through social media. Also because he is same regiment as my son.

Let get it set now. Wardley v Bennett for the English in November/early December, there’s enough cards about to take that fight surely.
