It's episode 50 and it's the UK's favourite fighter, former WBC heavyweight champion Frank Bruno. In one of his most candid interviews in years, Bruno reflects on his life and times, from his rough childhood, starting boxing, being sent to borstal and then fighting his way through the ranks and into huge fights with the likes of Tim Witherspoon, Mike Tyson (twice), Lennox Lewis and Oliver McCall. There were huge knockouts and heartbreaking losses along the way and, of course, his post-boxing career battles that have included him being sectioned three times and a public mental health battle. Here, Bruno covers it all, answers the questions that have surrounded his career and talks about his biggest fight in life after boxing.
