With a perfect start to his professional career, White enters his milestone 5th fight with nothing but confidence having found his feet quickly within the professional game.
This seamless switch from the amateur ranks was shown clearly in his last fight - a dominant victory over a 54 fight veteran who only 2 fights before had shared the ring with top domestic prospect Kid Galahad. ‘Whitey’ reflected on his last bout in a recent interview with HitHard News.
“My last fight was always going to be a hard one - my opponent had 50+ fights and had been in with top names. Looking back on it I’m very proud of my performance. (I) boxed really well, did what I had to do, won all 4 rounds - the business was done.”
The Birtley standout has never been the kind to take the easy route, and this is reflected in White’s choice for his next opponent - the ever resilient Qasim Hussain, who in almost 70 professional fights has only been stopped once.
White believes the key to victory lies within his style - and with a nickname like “Mr Dynamite’ it’s no surprise he describes his boxing as ‘come forward-aggresive’. Although a very exciting style, ‘Whitey’ appreciates that it’s the training he receives at the Fighting Chance gym which helps him exhibit his techniques in a more composed manner.
“I’m very grateful for what Fighting Chance have given me; they’ve gave me a great platform to be the very best I can. I’m very confident I can deliver and make them proud.
“I’ve got great coaches in Ronnie Rowe & Gary Barr. They’ve got all the experience - they’ll get the best out of me.”
White’s 5th bout appears on an especially important night - an evening to honour the career of highly decorated stablemate Jon-Lewis Dickinson. Both an idol and a friend, Dickinson’s departure leaves a gap within the promotion for a standout fighter - and with an unbeaten record and a strong amateur background, White looks to be the perfect candidate for this role.
With 4 wins from 4 fights, Mark White is beginning to earn a reputation on a local level - and he has no plans on stopping there. Although mature enough to not look past the opponent in front of him, White has his sights set firmly on a promising future.
“Future plans are just to keep getting the fights and keep moving forward, getting better each time. The area title is something we’ll be looking at.
I want to be in big fights on the biggest stages, I want titles.”
As always, both Fighting Chance Promotions and Mark himselfwould like to thank The Hanlon pub in Birtley for their continued support and sponsorship, a key factor in helping Mark fulfil his potential inside the ring.
