Frank Bruno 🥊 Devastating Power

Born in Hammersmith, London, Bruno is an English former professional boxer who competed from 1982 to 1996. He held the World Boxing Council (WBC) Heavyweight title from 1995 to 1996. At the regional level, he held the European Heavyweight title from 1985 to 1986. As an amateur, he won the ABA Heavyweight title in 1980. During his professional career, Bruno scored 40 wins and 5 losses, scoring 38 by knockouts, giving him a 95% knockout-to-win ratio; his overall knockout percentage was 84.44%. Bruno was ranked among BoxRec's 10 best Heavyweights in the world twelve times, reaching his career-high ranking of world no. 3 at the conclusion of 1984. On 2 September 1995, Bruno finally became world champion by outpointing WBC Champion Oliver McCall over twelve rounds. After an even start, Bruno built up a strong lead in the middle rounds before appearing to run somewhat out of steam in the last couple. However, unlike Bonecrusher Smith and Tim Witherspoon earlier in Bruno's career, McCall was unable to find a way through Bruno's defences to force the late stoppage he needed. Bruno won unanimously on points. Following retirement, Bruno became a television personality and entertainer. He was voted Sports Personality of the Year in 1989 and 1990 and he was awarded Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1990 New Years Honours List.
