Boxing Legend Frank Bruno Tells His Story

[@thomas1677]

The most humble man ever. This could've been 4 or 5 hours long and you'd not get bored of Frank, his laugh is infectious

[@scalezi]

Absolutely right Tom, Frank is a true gentleman and a British icon.

If James hadn't kept pushing him it would have been an absolute car crash

Frank has always and will always be , the peoples champion. Terrififc boxer! Even better human being. Thanks for the memory Frank

He was the best in Europe in his prime but rated in the lower end of the top ten internationally with only American heavyweights above him. He, more importantly, is a real gentleman. Modest and polite.

Great podcast & interview James. I've been a fan of Frank's since he turned pro & lived through his trials and tribulations, eventually winning the title at his 4th attempt. He really was the people's champion & to some, always will be. Great stuff buddy. Bless up 👊

I met Frank when I were 6 years old when my mum (now recently passed away from cancer) took me to the opening of the Notting hill arts centre about 26 odd year ago. I had the audacity to cheekily ask him how many fights he won of which he jokingly responded 'your going to have to ask my secretary that one young man, because I've lost count' whilst laughing his infamous chuckle and shaking my hand....an absolute legend, peace be with you and your family Frank.

Frank got a lot of abuse when he was active and yes he did fight a fair amount of duffers towards the end of his career but at his best he really fought some of the top guys like Tyson, Lewis, Witherspoon, Tillis, Bonecrusher, Biggs, Ribalta etc. Didn't win them all of course but always gave everything he had. Very tough dude.

He go no abuse at all, probably the most loved British boxer ever.

Tillis gave Mike Tyson one of his hardest fights at that time, the mid 1980's. About a year after Tyson fought him, Frank absolutely annihilated Tillis, in 1987 I think. On the BBC, with Mike Tyson on commentary with Harry Carpenter!! Tyson was genuinely respectful and really liked Harry.
