Saw on FB that Frank Bruno had been offered 2 mil pounds to fight Mike Tyson. He'said he accepted too good a money to turn down. Dont know if its really serious or not but he has posted on FB boxing several times
Tyson/Bruno II already happened in the 90's lol, you mean Tyson/Bruno III. 2 mill right now probably seems like a good deal but Bruno retired due to an eye injury that Tyson caused in their rematch. Is 2 mill worth losing your eye sight?
Nope it is not. But you can always take a dive or fight scared like he did and just get knocked out quickly.
Frank would spark him out now, out of the two I would hedge my bets on Frank being in the better shape, not smoking weed etc etc.
Aside from the obvious fact that Frank is 59 years of age, he's had a long history of mental health issues. I worry that the hype and attention that would go with a Tyson fight could be difficult for him to manage. He's such a loved figure in British Boxing, hope nothing bad happens to him.
Frank lives in the area I was brought up in & has been very helpful to a great guy that runs the Spit & Sawdust gym there. Does a great job keeping kids off the streets
They just did Tyson vs RJJ right so I think they are bringing some old timers back which we might see this sort of thing more ... I watched Tyson RJJ .. Man Tyson was throwing bombs trying to KO him ,, lol
No, Bruno suffered that eye injury in their first fight and was more or less blind in one eye in the rematch.
On 22 September 2003, Bruno was taken from his home near Brentwood in Essex by medical staff assisted by police officers, under the provisions of the Mental Health Act 1983. He was taken to Goodmayes Hospital in Ilford, where he underwent psychological and psychiatric tests. He had been suffering from depression for several months beforehand. He was later diagnosed as having bipolar disorder. On 9 October 2005, Bruno admitted that cocaine use, which began in 2000, had contributed to his mental health problems. Media coverage of Bruno's problems raised controversy, the principal accusations being gross intrusion and insensitivity. Particular criticism was aimed at The Sun, whose headline in the first editions the next day read "Bonkers Bruno Locked Up". Second editions retracted the headline and attempted to portray a more sympathetic attitude towards Bruno and mental health in general. As an attempt at atonement, the paper established a charity fund for people suffering from mental illness, although some mental health charities condemned The Sun's latter action that day as being grossly cynical in the light of the former. On 24 February 2008, Bruno offered his support to former footballer Paul Gascoigne, who on 21 February had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Bruno also spoke on his own personal experiences in the mental health system at a conference run by Hari Sewell, on 22 June 2009. Bruno was sectioned again in 2012 and taken to St Andrew's Hospital in Northampton for five weeks. In December 2013, Bruno spoke to the Daily Mirror in support of their mental health campaign, stating: "Mental illness is a terrible thing to have to cope with but I’ve learnt it’s a fight you can win if you live your life the right way".
