False alarm, agent told they would not give him a license.

A comeback at his age? Who does he think he is, Frankie Dettori?
|
|
By:
Well he's off his rocker isn't he.

first fight Harry carpenter
digging him up |
|
By:
Harry on points.

Not very well put Dr Crippen...he has Bipolar Disorder, not his fault
Considering what he did for this country he deserves our sympathy He is not being given a licence...some fighters go on into their 40's but 54 is too old, and he has been away too long. He would have lost his speed of reaction |
|
By:
Still got a good sense of fashion old Frank.
|

By:
I remember the shock when Foreman made his 2nd comeback and he wasn't even 40.
Never a chance of a comeback for Frank. Agree with Ebul he does deserve our sympathy for his illness. |
|
By:
Was on his twitter page just now and he's posted a 25 second clip of himself announcing his comeback on This Morning.
Looks as fit as ever btw but ATs comment on his clothes was confirmed by running through his posts. A suit in every colour. He actually looked okay in the yellow a nd pink ones surprisingly.  |
|
By:
knocked down by TGM etc.
|
|
By:
He should try the entertainment circuit if he needs to make money. Must have some interesting stories to tell..
Would need a little help to sort out an act and an agent of course, bipolar permitting I liked Frank most people seemed to |
|
By:
David Haye thinks he should be allowed a come back....but I would not agree
Haye himself has built himself up with diet and weight training, looking to come back himself Still a dangerous man Haye, very impressive in knocking over Mark Mori in one round Although Mori looked well outside his class, really only a club fighter, Haye needs a sterner test |
|
By:
Rocky done it at 59 I think. That guy David Haye knocked out the other week, frank could beat him.
There are three women in my street that have drivers licences, how can frank not get a boxing licence? |
|
By:
may as well let popeye make a comeback ffs

Rocky done it at 59 I think. If you are referring to the films that was fictional, There is a bloke in Nottingham Steve Ward who is still pro boxing at 59  I don't want to see Frank Bruno back myself |
|
By:
we could always have the two Bruno's in a good old fashioned dust up.
Our Frank vs that Bruno Tagglatelli guy on come Dancing would be a few minutes of anyones time  |

Frank seems like a great guy with a big heart, feel sorry for him. I remember reading some time ago that he had a boxing ring in his garden and used to sleep in it sometimes, this would be after his wife pissed off with the kids and left him on his own. Good luck to big Frank he doesn't seem to know what to do with his life since he got too old to box. Even Fyffes turned him down FFS.

refused boxing licence because they wouldn't be able to fix it

HP sauce advert coming soon.....Know what I mean 'Arry?

May be a false memory fro when I really knew my history of boxing but in the old old days I think Gem Mace fought for the British heavyweight title in his late 50's and fought an exhibition fight with the world champ at the time (I think it was Jeffries so mid 1890's ish) when he was in his mid 60's. Irrespective of that we are in more enlightened times. Frank was okay but no Lennox and he'd get smashed today by any of the top fighters.

You know your boxing Eternal
The trouble is Frank imagines himself fighting someone like Joshua...he could have done at his best But not now... |

Some nasty coonts on here

This is the biggest non event news story yet this year.
Bruno would never have been reissued a license, many seem to forget he lost it in the first place due to damaged retinas. Frank has always received great warmth from the general public. His problem was the individuals that magnates to him and his desire to entertain and be liked and respected, he tried too hard. The punches wouldn't have helped, but I believe his condition evolved from a nasty racist contingent within the black community who treated him badly for acting like a white man's fool. Frank is a good decent well liked man who holds an enormous amount of value with the public, I'm sure. There's an opportunity there for him. |

Romeo and Bruniette |
|
By:
His first fight is against a tall blonde haired Russian amateur boxing champion...don't worry though, it's only meant to be an exhibition.
|
|
By:
David Hayes now said he should fight against me his own age....not those in their 20/30s
Not a bad idea over 50 fights. Bruno could fight Mike Tyson again, he will be 50 next year...well if we let Tyson in the country  Still if his detached retina stops him getting a licence that is a pity I could see a market for over 50 fights myself |
|
By:
men not me
|
|
By:
He may well be skint. It is sad that he should need to risk it again.
|
|
By:
Well Evander lost more than Bruno ever had and hes still smiling
|
|
By:
Would not like to see him fight again, but theres stories doing the rounds that he can fight in Luxembourg, rumours are he'll fight
John L Gardener...both too old imo |
|
By:
The only John L Gardner I can find is 62
Still if he needs the money I suspect Bruno will fight |
|
By:
Big Frank and Kenny Mann in the ring. Who would the chit chatters be shouting for?
|
|
By:
^^^ the ambulance probably

John L Sullivan he means. Aka was at his last fight.
