    Attended Marks press conference yesterday and he has a look of determination to make this happen.


    "One year to make or break my career"

    Mark is heading into talks with Don King this week with a plan to set up a fight within the next 6 months to elevate him into the WBC top 15 and become eligible for a World Title Fight.

    Nikolai Valuev is his target to enact this plan....."he is big and slow"....

    Mark also didn't discount a lead up fight happening in Australia before the years end and mentioned that, "any fight in Australia I am open to, all they have got to do is get in contact with my promoter Don King".

    Just hope he manages to get the fights that can lead to where he wants to go, and in a reasonable time-frame.

    You don't have to look any further than Kali Meehan to see what Don King can 'do' for an Aussie heavyweight.

    I spoke with Mark and he is adament about a 12 month window in which to make his plan work.
    If it gets going and is heading in the right direction i think he will have the momentum for it to go all the way.

    Channel 9 were filming the press conference....not sure if it was aired last night or is in line for a run sometime this week.

    "Initial plans are to really fine-tune my skills for my next fight. Most likely this will be in November," de Mori said.

    "By the end of summer, I hope to be one of World Boxing Council's top-10 heavyweights, at which stage my team will commence negotiations with current title holders to lock in the big one.

    the guy can fight and is entertaining and seems likeable, but u can't just go from fighting very average fighters and a year of inactivity to winning a fight or two and expect to be fighting for a world title. it's not as easy as that, lol.

    i like his confidence, but his only focus should be on just getting in the damn ring. the rest will sort itself out as far as fighting for a world title.

    anyway good luck to him.

    Sally would've went apopletic yesterday as Mark was in a suit for the first part of the press conference.

    A trainer once said to me"All you have to do is win and they can't deny a decent shot at any title"If he can do it goodluck to him!I just hope its not just another publicity spinner,that ends in nothing.

    Where is Mark ranked now , Outside the top 40 ? ,been following this kids progress but there don't really seem to be any , giving a foot in hight away v Old October Cabbage Head ain't really going to work out to well for him either imo ,


    In other News is see Team Tua is taking on Monty again but this time down under .
