Mark Krence
Professional Record - W 26 (6 ko's)  |  L 6  |  D 0  |
Chesterfield butcher Mark Krence is a two-time British Title challenger and the current English Champion.

A former ABA cruiserweight champion, Mark has gradually grown into being a fully fledged heavyweight since turning pro in April of 2000.

He gained great credit by taking on Audley Harrison on three days notice in May 2002, hurting the Olympic champion before simply running out of rounds against the undefeated 'A Force' in their six rounder.

However, game and always in good fights, Mark rebounded from a brace of losses to give defending British champion Matt Skelton a hellish time in July 2005. More incredibly, Mark had accepted the fight with the unbeaten mauler Skelton on just 10 hours notice, after Danny Williams cried off sick. Mark pushed Skelton hard before a lack preparation caught up with him and he was retired on his stool.

Two further disappointments, including losing a vacant British Title fight to old rival Scott Gammer, have left Mark at a crossroads.

But at 29 - relatively young by heavyweight standards - the 6'5 Krence still has time on his side.
