    Bruno v Tyson III: it's the scuffle in Scunny

    Saturday, October 31, 2009, 06:30



    SCUNTHORPE will be the envy of the boxing world on Bonfire Night after Frank Bruno agreed to join Mike Tyson at the opening of a local gym.
    One-hundred additional tickets have been made available for the Dynamite School of Boxing launch night, which will host the pair, and can be purchased from the Fallen Hero clothes store in Scunthorpe High Street.
    The pair twice went head-to-head for the heavyweight world-championship, but have not appeared together in public since Tyson stole the world-belt from Bruno, in what emerged to be the final fight of Frank's career.
    Bruno said: "It will be a pleasure for me to open the gym with Mike, we had two epic battles and I have the utmost respect for him.
    "I've heard what Leon is doing with the kids boxing and I think it is fantastic.

    "Boxing saved me from a downward spiral and I am sure it will do the same for many of these youngsters."
    Bruno and Tyson will hold a short training session with youngsters from the new £1-million academy before the main event, which will see the boxers enter the ring in true Vegas style, before a brief exhibition of their fighting moves.
    Event organiser Leon Dobbs said: "We were thrilled enough to be able to bring Tyson to Scunthorpe, but the opportunity to bring together these fighters, who arguably contested two of the best fights of all-time is something I don't think will ever be repeated.
    "We're expecting the extra tickets to go very quickly, Frank is such a popular fighter, and such a popular personality, we felt we had to make more available.
    "The tickets will be sold on a first come first serve basis, and will be the final tickets on sale for this event."

    The first one was awesome, Bruno was probably the first guy to really hurt tyson, that first round was hair raising stuff.

    A scare in one round doesn't equate to two of the best fights of all time

    It is great to hear that they're both getting involved and nice to see them happy to share the same space with each other. Good luck Mike and Frank.

    Can you really see Tyson in an exhibition fight? I don't know if he has a mode other than "I want to eat his children".
