Mark Woolnough’s State of Mind

Mark Woolnough has not fought since September 2004. He is set to get back into the ring this Thursday night in Vancouver, on a card called “Vancouver Fights”, which will feature some of the best boxers that the West Coast has to offer. And three years ago, Woolnough was one of the best in British Columbia. One of the best in Canada.

But that was then and this is now. The reality of now is that he is a former Canadian super middleweight champion on the comeback trail starting again on small club shows. He will begin on Thursday against Chicago’s Michael Rush (1-9), a good opponent for a first fight back, but a far cry from his last opponent, the great Otis Grant, to whom Woolnough(14-5-1) lost his Canadian title back in 2004 in Montreal. He is looking for a few tune-up fights to get him onto the path to the championship and is excited to prove that he is still a talented fighter.
