Former British world heavyweight champion Frank Bruno treated for pneumonia

According to his agent, Dave Davies, former British world heavyweight champion, Frank Bruno has been treated in the hospital for pneumonia.

The 57-year old British boxing legend was ringside less than two weeks ago, to watch Chris Eubank Jr’s victory over James DeGale in London and looked hale and hearty.

He was however, admitted to The Horton General hospital where he received treatment for pneumonia and will continue his recovery for the next few weeks at home.

The peak of Frank Bruno’s career was when he beat American Oliver McCall at Wembley in September 1995, to win the WBC heavyweight title.

He also had famous bouts with Mike Tyson, the first in 1989 and the second in 1996; both ended in losses for the Bruno.
