Mark Prince OBE is a former champion boxer and knife-crime charity founder.
Life
Prince won the WBO intercontinental light-heavyweight title in September 1997.
Price was honoured in the 2019 New Year Honours list with an OBE after his work with the Kiyan Prince Foundation on tackling knife crime. The charity, which is named after Prince's son who was killed in a stabbing incident in 2006, aims to use boxing to deter people from getting involved in knife crime.
On 17 December 2024, Prince won the Helen Rollason Award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2024 ceremony at MediaCity, Salford. He was given the honour as recognition for his work at the Kiyan Prince Foundation.
