Surely not ?

This has to be the craziest thing I've heard in a while.
Is it the ramblings of a man struggling with his own mental health, or a legitimate dream ?

To be fair the guy is still in fantastic shape, but he'd never get a licence surely ?

I'd not heard or read that, has to be the right decision.
It would be sad day to witness his comeback, the guy is a national hero.

He is possibly over his mental health issues and just wants to feel normal again rather than still be in its grip and deluded .....either way , if he does box it obviously will be some non-BBBC affair

His issue or our issue???

The man loves to box...might be the focus he needs to keep his mind healthy

He has too many issues. No committee will sanction him a licence. I met Bruno. He is a lovely guy, but he will get seriously hurt.

He might look good and train well in the gym, but he is too old to be fight fit. Foreman made a comeback, but he still had all his sense, plus lets face it, Bruno is nowhere near Foreman's level.

Wasn't he told by doctors that he could never box again due to an eye injury? If so ,surely that's still the case

I looked after him 3 weeks ago in Coventry at a BBAD bareknuckle show and its fair to say he is suffering a little. Lovely bloke but I dont believe he is 100% well.

As you well know, you don't play boxing. This isn't someone looking to make a comeback in golf or snooker, boxing can be very dangerous. Bruno looks good on the outside, but he is in no mental state to be taking punches from prime heavyweights. Hopefully no country will licence him.

Big Frank was an excellent fighter in a competitive era, and one of Britains best loved sporting stars.

Hopefully this comes to nothing.

deffo mate as much as the British public would love to see it, a bloke 25yrs past his peak is beyond negligent . Watching him on the pads was awful, as if he is missing some cognitive function. His golden moment left hooking a ferocious Mike Tyson will never be forgotten, he needs to be told to do something else, Poor chap. Legend.

He's a national treasure. I hope he finds peace in something else.

Was he actually fighting?

Agree that he shouldn't be in the ring - my concern is that he will find some other venue.

As to how true the stories were I don't know but if he was sleeping in the ring as the only place he felt safe then this may well be.linked to that.

I don't like boxing (too macho for me), but I've always found him to be a likeable TV personality. I wish him well.

I have a photo of me standing next to a waxwork of him, and he's rather big.

Frank's obviously ill. He's deluded and paranoid by what he's said. He will never box again

I remember reading he was told not to box on risking losing his eyesight. Hope he doesn't come back to it would hate to see anything happen.
