Remember him training in Doncaster a couple of years looking for fights but nothing actually happened?

Thanks didn't know that, I wonder why nothing came of it?
To be honest I don't think he was going far (the Soko loss showed his limitations) but he could have been involved in some decent scraps at a lower level (him and Mark Bennett would have been decent)
I'm guessing you are a Doncaster lad, what connections to Mark have you?
Also if Mark Bennett can get fit again there are some fights out there for him. Been suffering a lot of injuries and ailments since his last to Babic.

Neither from Doncaster or connected to Mark, but I think him and Machin would have been a crowd pleasing clash.
Did Mark's injuries occur in the Babic fight (that went on too long and became uncomfortable to watch) ?
Don't think so. Mark has his own grounds work company in Donny, the effects of work and training, plus he's ex army so maybe had reoccurring injuries from his army days.
He still gets offered fights but mostly a week's notice.

Does he still hold a license?
Not sure to be honest, not asked him about that.
