RIP. Was all before my time, but have watched the Christie fight on many occasions, a genuine British classic

Sad to hear that.
Reminds me of listening to his fights on Radio 2 with (I think) Des Lynam doing the commentary

RIP Mark
I remember all the saga from the 80s. Especially as a West Ham fan.
Only a few years older than me
I think he lived in Orange County of somewhere south of LA. He was involved in a gym & kids football if I remember rightly.

Thats sad to hear. Him and Errol Christies fight was a proper big deal back then with everything that went on.

Christ...just 64 years old 
Bugner, Hatton and now Kaylor.
A good amateur and professional with plenty of bottle.
His tussles with Roy Gumbs and Errol Christie were riveting encounters
RIP Mark

Oh no that’s terrible, I thought Mark was living the life out in California running a gym
I didn’t expect that at all. What happened to him what a warrior he was, the absolute classic against Roy Gumbs, up off the floor in the bedlam at the Ally Pally, fighting back to knock out Gumbs - what a night that was.

You’ll never see a braver fighter than Mark Kaylor. Knocked down something like seven times in a big upset versus buster Drayton, on the same night that Frank Bruno got knocked out in a huge upset.
Another reminder of how these fighters need to be looked after. Apparently Mark had dementia at 62 years old.

That’s terrible news and terrible he was poorly at such a young age. He would have been a big favourite had he been boxing now and made some money. Very popular fighter, I always though a bit odd they didn’t cultivate some kind of wbo title fight vs Eubank in the early days (when they were matching Eubabk against the likes of Gary Stretch)

I think Kaylor would have been campaigning at a higher weight by then.stujones wrote: ↑17 Nov 2025, 07:33 That’s terrible news and terrible he was poorly at such a young age.

RIP. Terrific heart and the fight against Christie is one of the maddest tear-ups (in and out of the ring) I've ever seen.

Bloody hell, that's terrible. It's not even like he was from the era of 100 fights. I think he had less than 50.MightyWarrior wrote: ↑17 Nov 2025, 04:24

Sad to hear. The area where he lived is lovely & he couldn't even enjoy it in his later years. Just a prisoner in his own head.
