Bruno did well to finally grab that strap. I remember quite a bit of mauling by both, as well as Benn across the ring going absolutely ballistic in the front row

Someone (won't name them) who's a well connected guy in boxing circles once posted that Bruno was threatened before the first fight by Tysons people that if he knocked Tyson out he wouldn't be leaving the US.
Wonder if theres any truth in that story?

Why won't you name them if it's something you read? Old Bruno clearly didn't get the news as he was trying to take Tyson's head off.

Bruno was always seen in and around Canning Town (where I'm from) in 80's and early 90's. Was constantly signing autographs in Rathbone market. He used to train at a Gym run by Terry Lawless above the Royal Oak pub which was no more than 200m from my house were I grew up. Everyone down my road had one or two signed pictures of him. It's the only time I've actually SEEN the genuine popularity of a boxer. Strange though because when I was aware of who he was, he was doing pantomime and I swear he turned up at my primary school as father Christmas one year, I'm bloody sure of it haha.
Also, I remember being about 6 years old causing a panic in Rathbone market cause I'd left me mum and gone missing only to be found talking to Frank Bruno lol.
