Less than a week after Frank Bruno unveiled his champion-like physique to the world, he's revealed that he'd like to make a real return to the ring.
In an interview with This Morning on ITV to talk about mental health, 54-year-old Bruno said that he feels training for a return to the ring is the only thing that keep him out of psychiatric hospital:
Bruno also said he's motivated by a desire to show he can compete with Anthony Joshua.
Bruno also says he's been irked by claims from boxing promoter Eddie Hearn that current British champion – Anthony Joshua – could beat a 54-year-old man inside two rounds:
The 54-year-old Londoner was one of the most successful British heavyweights of the 80s and 90s, winning the WBC belt but losing it to the all-conquering Mike Tyson.
Bruno has suffered a public battle with mental illness and has been sectioned three times since he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003.
