He was detained for an incident that happened seven years ago in Thessaloniki after police issued a warrant for his arrest.

Marku, 32, is accused of wounding and illegal possession of a weapon.

According to Greek media, he faced seven years in jail for the incident after he was previously convicted and jailed, serving one-a-half years locked up.

However, the case has since been appealed, and according to changes in Greek law, he must serve at least one-third of the original sentence.

While it means he could be facing up to five more years in jail, according to Pamfleti, Marku’s family have been told he will need to serve around six months to call the case closed.

According to VoxNews, Marku was in Germany for personal reasons on December 9 before he was detained on the 18.

The report adds that he has claimed the incident involved a bar fight with some Russians.

Marku fights out of London with a background career in kickboxing and MMA but found the most success in professional boxing, where he has a 13-1-1 record.

In 2021 Marku won the IBF International welterweight title and Maxim Prodan.

March 2024 saw Marku went up against Chris Kongo for the vacant IBO Intercontinental welterweight title.

The arrest has cast doubt over his boxing future.
