Re: Frank Bruno

At 54, I'd say he's a bit old to be fighting, his reflexes will be much slower too...... Know what I mean, Arry!!

Re: Frank Bruno

Did anyone read the Link, at the end it said .

However, Bruno later said that his agent had been told by the British Boxing Board of Control that it would not accept his application for a licence.


It wasnt about the money , more like him showing what he could still do....

I hope not, too. I have no idea if it is because he needs money, or whether because of his changeable mental state, he needs to prove to himself he is still strong and capable.

I don't like boxing, never have done, but I do like Frank Bruno and if he did manage this fight, I don't think it would do him any favours if he lost. I think he's struggle to live it down.
What a pity he can't just be proud of his career and what he achieved, instead of trying to resurrect it.

Two more things come to mind - what is his age now? And also, isn't he on permanent medication for his illness, if so, would that influence his reactions I wonder?

(sorry, asking about his age, just seen he is 54).

Re: Frank Bruno

I agree with what everybody says. I would hate to see him made a fool of.

Does anybody know how he's made a living since he packed in boxing?

Re: Frank Bruno

He has been refused a licence, just hope he does not ignore this and wiser heads can guide him.

He's done sportsman's dinner nights.
Not the sort of earnings he became accustomed to.
