Press Release:
SCUNTHORPE on Bonfire Night will be boxing madness after Frank Bruno agreed to join Mike Tyson at the opening of a local gym, the Dynamite School of Boxing.
The pair twice went head-to-head for the heavyweight world-championship, but have not appeared together in public since Tyson stole the world-belt from Bruno, in what emerged to be the final fight of Frank’s career.
Bruno said: “It will be a pleasure for me to open the gym with Mike, we had two
epic battles and I have the utmost respect for him.
Bruno and Tyson will hold a short training session with youngsters from the new boxing academy before the main event, when the boxers enter the ring in true Vegas
style, before a brief exhibition of their fighting moves.

Tyson/Bruno in Scunthorpe
Re: Tyson/Bruno in Scunthorpe
'Two epic battles'? I love Frank as much as the next man but as match-ups they were closer to Bowe-Hide than Bowe-Holyfield.

The Scunthorpe event had to be cancelled due to health and safety regs. The building apparently, fell foul of regulations relating to fire alarms, emergency lighting and emergency exits.

good planning then, what a disgrace, is the club run by idiots, in this day and age everyone knows the H&S interest in anything and anywhere that involves anyone.mexican roadsweeper wrote:The Scunthorpe event had to be cancelled due to health and safety regs.

it would have been a fantastic night for the town and for many youngsters.
whoever is responsible should hang their head in shame, did they not have a 'pre' H&S inspection a couple of months ago giving them time to get their act together.
or is it only me that thinks sense !! ..... prats !!
