In Bird's last bout, the talented leisure centre attendant was awarded the Corsican Cup after seeing off French champion Dylan Salvador on the beautiful Corsican Island. Ringsiders named him the Little Emperor after Corsica's most famous son, Napoleon.

Prokick kingpin Gary Hamilton said "Mark is a great new talent, I spar with him regularly and if he stays focused and trains hard he could be a champion of the future."

Also on the card will be Mark's younger brother David in his third kickboxing bout. The event which is backed by the Belfast City Council and sponsored my hair giants Schwarzkopf will see 5 world title fights, a 4 man mini K1 style tournament and various other national and regional titles.
