    Won't do anything in the pros in my opinion. I heard Warren is trying to promote love island next year.

    Bruno was knocked down once by Tyson in their first clash and once when he was stopped in their rematch, he was also fllored and stopped by Witherspoon and Smith, his chin was pretty bad, probably because he fought so tense all te time.

    Frank Bruno the people's champion - nobody cares that he lost 5 fights by KO/TKO.

    Was delighted when he finally became World Champion as I thought it would never happen in a much better era than today and he should have really retired with a serious eye issue before the McCall fight.

    Please note for your research that Andy Ruiz has more chins than a Hong Kong Phone Book

    Fun fact - I sparred with Akinwande a few times in New Cross prior to his fight with Jimmy Thunder back in 1993

    Henry Cooper once said, " Everything about him is manufactured. When you hit him on the chin, the poor fella can't even fall down naturally ". Frank didn't hit the deck when he got chinned, he used to drop to pieces.

    Fair play to him using his real pic. We’re one of a few who do on here although I understand people wanting to remain visually anonymous :)

    People's Champion? If he'd come from anywhere other than London, he'd have been lucky to have fought for the British Title. An on point Noel Quarless would have rolled straight over Frank and Lawless was terrified of David Pearce.
