Mark 'Fightshark' Miller says fighting helped prepare for battle against organ failure

Former K-1 and Glory Kickboxing standout Mark Miller has had a few wars during his fight career, but perhaps his biggest and toughest opponent has come in the form of chronic illness.

Speaking about his extensive medical problems on the Anik and Florian podcast, "Fightshark" revealed that the organ problems that chased him from the sport of kickboxing eight years ago are back in force. Miller is currently suffering from triple organ failure due to a mix of genetic and previous complications that will require surgical transplants to save his life.

Those who have followed the body of work of the 39-year-old know how disappointing it is for a man who wants nothing more than to get back into the ring.
