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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Get well soon pal

didnt he run roughshod over the bareknuckle (or was it unlisecned) scene in the uk for a bit, or am i imagining things

All the best & good luck to Mark,a man who still doesn't play games in the gym,fit & strong man with good core lifts

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

All the best, I wish him a full speedy recovery

I think he did MMA as well. A true warrior

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.

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.

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.
