  • oliver mcall was a retard ,bruno was a nice guy but lacked quality .

  • Frank Bruno was one of the biggest failures to come out of British boxing. His biggest claim to fame was that he stunned Tyson in a title fight, if he'd been any good he would have followed up with a knock out punch. I think this "Title Fight" was just a long service award!

  • I miss Bruno ):

  • @otley2006 So did Oliver McCall!

  • There wasnt much boxing being done by Frank in this fight. More wrestling and generally spoiling. I liked Frank Bruno..Who didnt? but i have to say i dont think his performance was deserved of a world title.

  • We want another Frank! He was brilliant, David Haye, Tyson Fury and Chisora just aren't good enough.No what I mean?

  • The Sun (the scum) logo isnt fit for Frank Bruno to walk on

  • Super frank, took some shots, landed some shots, old skool toe 2 toe

  • To become a boxing champion you need to be an excellent boxer. But there are many times that you and your opponent will have a close fight and that’s the time where the other people who support you for their own reason (which is mostly money) comes along and change the out com. Sometimes boxers speed and stamina will be affected with underground doping that is not known to others just to fulfill the needs of some.

  • Boxing at this level is usually fixedI reckon - the promoters knew that Frank winning was the jackpot. The referee barely did anything about the holding in the last round.

  • @SimonDolan the fight was for most parts a clean fight maybe he didnt see much point breakin it up as it wasnt that much of a problem

  • Was is Mike Tyson who said something like "I've never been punched so hard" after fighting Bruno. What a great compliment. Or have I imagined that?

  • @McPrfctday I thought he said Ruddock was the hardest he was hit. Wow imagine Razor Ruddock vs Frank Bruno - awesome!!

  • I think if Bruno wasn't so musclebound and was a lighter heavyweight he could of been more successful. He had good power and a pretty good chin but his plodding style cost him against Lewis and Tyson.

  • The Glory days of British boxing..Bruno,Lewis,Benn,Euban­k,Hamed,Hatton,Calzaghe,....To­day we have nobody !

  • Im so glad big frank was world champion.

  • If one guy deserved to be a world champion it was Frank Bruno..That was his last crack of the whip, and he so deserved to come through.You did your country proud Frank, and the people love you..Atrue role model in every sense of the word.. Bless you Frank..

  • i cant help but watch nigel ben in the background lol, he almost wants to get in there `and rook lol well done frank, you deserved to be a champion in my eyes

  • @dean24uk Hhahaa it's funny watching Nigel, at one point i thought he was going to help Frank out..

  • DOSH

  • i want to fight you frank

  • i want to you frank bruno

  • I met frank bruno when I was 9!! I used to box so when I saw him I has a photo and his autograph

  • I MET HIM TODAYY :D:D:D:D:D:D 

  • bruno might have been limited....but he had one of the hardest punches in history...tyson admitted he was the 1st person to hurt him.

  • Frank Bruno is such an inspiration. He knew that he was limited at world level but his tactics for this fight was spot on and he showed a lot of guts to finally win the world title after 3 brave, but failed attempts. Bruno is in the history books! RESPECT!

  • @kevindavidge Oliver McCall was a washed up fighter with a crack cocaine habit, that's why!

  • @kevindavidge couldnt of put it better RESPECT TO OUR CHAMP

  • VERY NICE......WHATS THE TITLE OF RINGING?

  • What music does Bruno enter the ring to?

  • Frank Bruno - David Haye

  • FRANK BRUNO !

  • 9:00 its the Macho Man Randy Savage!!!!!!

  • im gunna destroy him im gunna demolish him im gunna box him what a statement lmaoo

  • Top bloke was more or less a body builder had to much muscle on his frame & that hurt his stamina but was delighted he win the title as he deserved it, a true gentleman.

  • @Metatarsal i agree he did always carried to much muscle, but he did deserve it , jut for being frank :)

  • WE LOVE U FRANK BRUNO !!!!

  • c'mon ref stop the clinch

  • We Love you Frank, you done us proud :)

  • YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS BRUNOOOOOOOO BRUNOOOOOOOO BRUNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRUNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • the days when we didn`t have to paid to wacth boxing

  • @wantpussyinclub this was on sky box office

  • @topginge83 in the uk it was on itv

  • @wantpussyinclub no it was sky kid look it up, i watched it on sky ppv. when it pans out to the stadium shot when frank got the descision you can see the sky signs above the ring.

  • if bruno had more stamina he would beat lewis

  • One of the greatest moments in British sporting history. We love an underdog we followed Frank for years and he was destined to be he nearly man, but his exhausted face when they have announced he has done is incredibly emotional. A nation has never had a stronger affinity to any boxer. Brunoooooooo!

  • King Bruno British Lionheart

  • GBR GBR GBR GBR

  • dont think nigel benn sat down that enitre night. frank deserved it. one of the best performances of a heavyweight in recent years. boxed incredibly well

  • @oasis4ever92 Benn was showing Bruno that level of support because frank did the same for him during the Mcclellan fight .

  • bruno at his most powerful

  • i got a picture with frank bruno 5 years ago... AWESOME

  • Frank Bruno - Greatest fighter that ever lived.

  • 16 years ago today

  • Haye, Hide,Lewis..... none of these fighters had the love and respect of the british public like Frank Bruno did. Still gives me goosebumps when I hear 'the NEW heavyweight champion'. True Legend, nice one Frank

  • The announcers call Bruno's holding "clever," but it was really pretty shameful toward the end. The referee should have stepped in more (is he by any chance British?).

  • engliosh fucks suck as a rule

  • @djk28161 BooHoo Born in the USGAY music gets played lol stupid American rugby on the lasers, and he took a whooping to add insult to injury he had to listen to our music = OWNED. This is why USGAY fighters don't fight here because they get whooped lol.

  • dont think nigel benn sat down once that night

  • no one deserved it more than frank

  • Why play the "Macho Man Randy Savage's music??... Maybe a big elbow from the top rope would of helped Wank Bruno in his 1st title defence against Mike Tyson...?

  • Both fighters unworthy of being called "heavyweight champion"

  • this was franks night

  • gotta love that body shot at 2:49

  • When it's anounced that Bruno has won and the national anthem kicks in, makes you proud to be british!

  • Frank bruno did not have a glass jaw,he was never sparked with one punch like lewis,or hatton(thats a glass jaw).Bonecrusher,witherspoon,t­yson,lewis all had to hit him with everything they had to make him go down,because he was one of the toughest heavywieghts.He always took a punch to well and didnt go down when he should of,the one time he did(against tyson,first time round)he stood up and nearly took tysons head off and nearly caused the biggest upset ever.FACT!

  • King Frank Bruno

  • dumb ape

  • got a picture of him and me when i was like 3 down romford :)

  • I love Frank.

  • were these the highlights,,,cause looking at this one wonders how in the world did bruno win this fight?

  • I'm American, and this happened years before I became a boxing fan, but I just love the way the UK embraced and how he was a source of pride even though he wasn't a top p4p fighter. He tried his best and that was enough for people to love him, and want him representing the country. We could use a bit of that here, but the USA is just so cutthroat and so big we as a nation very rarely unanimously get behind anything or anyone. The only example I can really remember is Louis/Schemling II. Boxing.

  • @boxing2012 I wouldn't read too much into that in the grand scheme of things. Yes the UK did take Bruno to their hearts, but generally we (generally not me specifically) like to build up our sports stars, only to knock them right of their perch when they don't turn out be the very best. I think the best example for this is the England Football (Soccer) Team..

  • Well done Frank.

  • Comment removed

  • @Stabesy you spelt 'uneducated' wrong :-)

  • @mooghead a bit of dyslexia on my part haha

  • nobody love frank more than me but he was shite.

  • @mannzymunster Perfect example of my previous comment. If they're not the very best they're "shite"...

  • its nice to see frank becoming champion at last

  • nice to see frank a champion at last

  • I hate it when one guy barely survives the fight, but ends up the "winner". But rules are rules.

  • @counterstriving so by your logic, if one boxer is ahead for 11 rounds but gets caught in the 12th but hangs on, the lucky punch in the 12th should be the winner? What's the boxing like in your world?

  • @Eldomina22 If one fighter is behind for 11 rounds and knocks the other guy out in the 12th, he gets the victory (whether or not it was a "lucky punch"); so I'm saying that in the same situation if he ALMOST knocks out his man then it's tough to see the other guy get the win.

    I like boxing to be more about fighting, not just "winning rounds," e.g. skillfully avoiding your opponent and throwing more jabs than he does. So to me the later rounds are more important. But I accept the game as it is.

  • @GuyLeFrog too right. he didn't have a natural boxing ability.More like a manufactured one.too mechanical

  • What on earth is Nigel Benn wearing? LOL

  • 2:32. "I hit harder than Tyson now" Quote Frank Bruno. Well, tyson did´nt give a shit Frankie boy :-)

  • @tulletudse WHEN DID YOU LAST WIN THE WBC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP?? OH THAT'S RIGHT YOU DIDN'T. KEYBOARD TOUGH GUY!!!!!

  • why is that twat hamid at the the end.....it was franks win!!!

  • Comment removed

  • sneaky hard left uppercut from Bruno around 2:17 2:18

  • @bencawley1

    how can somebody who "CANT FIGHT FOR SHIT" when the heavy weight title ???

  • Anyone know what Franks theme song is?

  • worst everchamp

  • connymat - Bruno fought Lewis, Witherspoon, Tyson twice. They were world champion boxers, remember McCall beat Lewis. Bruno was underated although not in the top echelon.

  • You have to remember Bruno won a world title at a time when there were some top boxers. Way to go Frank.

  • @Darrenov Mccall wasnt though, but respect to frank never giving up.

  • bruno terrible you prat he was giving lewis a very very lot trouble untill the 8th and winning and was the first to hurt tyson,who knocked lewis out umm mcall you idiot

  • Bruno was perhaps the worst heavy weight world champion ever. he won against a very weak opponant and never held the title for very long.. 

  • @steeky147 McCall KO'ed Lweis!

  • didn't know that the ko'd Lewis but stil don't change my mind about Bruno. he was not a good heavy weight and most people only supported him because they liked him as a celebrity..

  • @steeky147 And Bruno won every round against Lewis until he got KO'ed, he wasnt brilliant and like you say the public just loved him but any boxer who can perform at heavy weight the way he did is legit boxing is damn hard work I do it myself you have to give pros some credit, give it a try yourself and see how hard it actually is.

  • @METAL1ON ..I never said that boxing was easy, but I disagree. if you actually think Bruno was a great heavy weight then you are wrong. he was terrible but just popular because the public longed for an English world heavy weight champion so they'd have something to boast about.

  • He was around when there were 10-15 heavyweights that are better than what is around today

  • Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuno

  • @inspironjay Lennox lewis born west Ham East London left London aged 12 returned aged 23.

  • Lennox lewis born west Ham East London left London aged 12 returned aged 23.

  • Bruno's finest hour. I 've always like Frank, and though I'm not British I never could figure out why the Brits embraced Lewis, (a Jamacian or Canadian) over Frankie.

    God Bless, Bruno.

  • @09Brant frank bruno is loved in britian way more than lewis

  • what's the name of the song at the beginning?

  • if bruno was around now he would been champ for years.

  • Why did Frank Bruno get a gong just because he was good at punching people? I'm brilliant at it but the most I've ever got is 200 hours community service.

  • He did the great north run when i was a kid and i shot out like a bolt from under me mam and he stopped cuddeled me and shook my hand and said in his huge cockney accent "owight little man" total 100 percent hero, not the best boxer we have had but defo the biggest heart. Cheers frank

  • @vacherno3 bruno ain't cockney. he's from wandsworth

  • @FukcKKKBNP lol soz mate geographical out by about 5 miles, u get the point tho

  • randy savage!

  • The single greatest moment in Boxing history for me. I love watching the greats, Lewis, Mayweather, Pacman. None of them had my undying support live Bruno had. When he won, we all won for taking that journey with him. You're a legend Frank.

  • Bruno was such a good guy.

  • Met frank at my boxing gym a few years back. He's a wonderful man.

  • Yaay Frank! ^_^

  • Frank Bruno is coming to my town very shortly, my boxing trainer said he might be coming to see us in our gym, look forward to meeting him.

  • Met Frank Bruno win I was a kid, what a legend, can't imagine David Haye taking time out to talk to kids the way this REAL Heavyweight champ did.

    Legend.

  • Watched this live.

    No fighter in the world could leave their head so exposed as McCall did against Bruno and finish the fight upright.

    Amazing chin, whatever else you say about him.

  • Totaly Deserved. Bruno Bruno Bruno! Wish I had been there. I Met him years ago took the time to stop for a pic with my son. Thanks Frank :)

  • Born in the U.S.A thats really funny because he was boxing in england haha

  • @sandmbmx Whats even funnier is that whereas Bruno had God Save The Queen played for him, Someone (I think it was Ali Woodson) came out and sang The Star Spangled Banner. I swear, Don King was not afraid to wave the American flag in the face of English fans with that gesture. It was also disrespectful.

  • @sandmbmx I dont find nothing funny about someone at another country representing their home country.. Other nationalities do it all the time everyday over here in America so why not do it elsewhere

  • wow bruno got the shit beat outa him in the 12th

  • @KIWIAZALWAYS I disagree.. He go the fuck beat out of him in the 12th! hahah

  • @KIWIAZALWAYS Have you got the balls to fight?! Shut the fuck up then you little bastard!!

  • not bad for a hod carrier :)

  • ugly figt

  • Bruno was never an uncle tom. That was Just a slur on his charactor but in reality Frank Bruno was , and still is, the peoples Champion !!!!!! And he was a good boxer that was only beaten by world champions. And a legend!!!!!!

  • @truthhitmanisback

    I totally agree. And not to mention, he was and is still, a true gentleman. Britains pride

  • Born in England

  • remember watching this live, what a night. hahaha nigel benn chearin g bruno on at ringside

  • Bruno aint got shit on tyson. he isnt even that good. still an english champ though :)

  • @Tyizere The history books will say Frank Bruno was the british world heavyweight champion of the world.

  • Bruno aint got shit on tyson

  • What a night for British Boxing!

  • Jab him, Frank! Jab him!

  • Delighted for Frank a really nice man & champ, on the other hand that Mc Call was a total cheese dick of a champion.

  • Oliver McCry

  • Bruno can fight tall fighter well.

  • Mcall was Tommy Morrison sparring partner back in the 90´s.

  • @BalossinoLuca Mccall was Tysons sparring partner at least once too.

  • what is the tune that Bruno walks out too???

  • Frank Bruno had one of the best right crosses in boxing history. His straight punches are fast and crushing!

  • @expressivechild One of the best right crosses?! Jesus.

  • @FreckletonBoy his right cross would make you dead. bruno was a boxing world champion. do you think that they just hand out belts like they do in that pretend wrestling bullshit.

    on your channel you have got videos of the rock, what about him does he have a good right cross. from know on try not to argue with grown ups

  • @mrbozwellblue I have a video of the Rock's training regime because he's in great shape and has a background in American Football. A cross from Bruno would indeed do me some serious damage, what with him being a professional boxer and all! No 'they' don't hand out belts, but beating a drugged up has been for a title, and losing it in your first defense, does not a great boxer make. If you want to debate boxing with me, then give it your best shot, I look forward to it.

  • @FreckletonBoy . not looking for a debate friend,

    Just hate people ripping into someone i look up to.

  • @mrbozwellblue Whatever, that's up to you. But don't tell someone they are wrong, when they can back up their argument, and all you can do is attack their character.

  • how can you back up your argument if you think because bruno lost his first defence it makes him a poor fighter then i was wright to attack your character because anyone can critique but it takes heart to stand up and and take the chance of loosing. everybody looses in the end if they keep going long enough. if tyson rated bruno as his number one victory who are you to say shit

  • @FreckletonBoy it is the courage,will to keep trying that people love about frank bruno i cant think of anyone else i know who would get ko'd by mike tyson and go for another fight with him,and how many people have lost theyre first title attempt and stayed in the top 10 for 3 more shots eventually winning it,its his spirit and determination that makes him a legend,but i agree he is not a great fighter

  • @KIWIAZALWAYS VERY well put, thank you for the level headed response mate!

  • was i watching come dancing?

  • pretty poor boxer, too pumped up and slow..... but still one of them british moments :)

  • frank bruno ... gotta luv him

  • frank bruno was too full of himself and was always way out of his depth against the american boxers!!! he only beat oliver mccall because mccall slept for most of their fight and even then very nearly knocked him out!!! a cheap points decision for Bruno!!

    britain really should try to forget this " champion" since what he won really does'nt do the nation any credibility!!! Weakest world heavyweight in history!!!

  • @nicky29031977 Hows he the weakest heavyweight ever?? sounds like your to full of your country so stfu..

  • @vildanius it was the british tabloids who said he was one of the weakest!!! not just my words!!!

  • @vildanius he was fucking awful and untill valuev he w\as the worst heavyweight champion ever

  • @cv003799. one of brunos jabs would kill you before you hit the ground.

    Tyson himself said that beating bruno was the best victory of his life. All i will say is that you must be one hell of a boxer yourself to be able to pick holes in a world champion. why dont you post the link to your title fight. so we can hate on you.

  • @mrbozwellblue First off, Tyson never said that. If he did, provide a link. Secondly, one doesn't have to be a boxer to critique a professional - if that was the case, punditry wouldn't exist.

  • @FreckletonBoy first off, how the fuck do you know what tyson has said, are you god or just a tyson expert. type .Mike Tyson on Bruno/Hayee in to youtube and you will learn that you are wrong.

    next time before you call someone a liar at least check what you are saying.

  • @mrbozwellblue Come on; Frankie was slow and cumbersome. When Tyson fought him Mike got all overcome with showing who was strongest. If Mike had boxed properly Frank wouldn't have lasted 2 rounds.

  • @wtw88 sorry to state the obvious but how do you know that? its boxing therefore you always got a punchers chance.

  • born in the usa entrance music, really?! LOOOL

  • What is franks entrance tune called in this anyone know??

  • bruno desearved to hold one of the belts before he retired i dont recall bruno ever being beat by a bum and he was the first boxer to hurt tyson and that was when hurting tyson was a claim to fame. bruno will always be loved in england he done us proud and he is definately on the list of great boxers to come from britain.

  • Bruno done alot of holding neally could of been DQ lol lucky it was in his home country.
