I Love 1989
TV

Frank Bruno


Bruno vs Tyson

Everyone in Britain tuned in to watch "Our Frank" teach Tyson a lesson in the most hyped world title fight since Rocky took on Mr T.

Sadly it was not to be, as Frank stuck out his glass jaw and Tyson popped him neatly on the canvas.

But Bruno did at least rock Tyson a couple of times and that was enough to earn the public's love and secure him a lifelong career in panto.

He did have another crack at the big fella a few years later, again failing valliantly and even became world champion for a little while.

Not a bad career, know what I mean Harry?
