    ....and became a pro heavyweight boxer 33 years ago. Had a fairly succesful career,but consensus says that I never reached my full potential,and my heart was never in it.

    At school Bugner excelled in sports and was the national junior AAA discus champion in 1964. BUT he turned pro in 1967, 43 years ago, not 33.
