Mark de Mori

[2] De Mori lived in Croatia for 10 years before returning back to Perth, Western Australia in January 2023.

[1] De Mori has occasionally been accused of adopting an 'arrogant' style in the ring, as he tends to keep his fists low, rather than in front of his face.

King cited "youth and exciting style" as the reason he put faith in De Mori, as he slowly worked his way up the ranks.

One year into his deal with King, De Mori scored an eight-round win by unanimous decision over Ed Mahone in New Zealand.

On 24 November 2015 it was announced at a press conference that De Mori would be the comeback opponent of former heavyweight champion David Haye.

Haye, set up the finish with huge overhand right and De Mori was unconscious before he hit the canvas with 49 seconds left in the round.

The fight took place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin.
