MARK RUSSELL

Looking to push himself further with a more physically demanding challenge, he turned his

attention to Thai / Kick Boxing at the age of 17. Following an impressive amateur career as

a light heavy weight, driven by a hunger to be the best he could, he turned pro at the age of

20 and was soon making a name for himself as a fighter willing to stand toe-to-toe with the

best in the world. For more information regarding Mark Russell and his achievements in the
