Bruno applies for return of licence

LONDON JUNE 18. Former WBC world heavyweight champion Frank Bruno has made an official application for the return of his boxing licence at age 41 although an eye problem could well lead to rejection.

Bruno has not fought since losing his title in two rounds to Mike Tyson in Las Vegas more than seven years ago and has since discovered that he has a damaged retina. He had applied for his licence back with a view to a big money fight with former Olympic super heavyweight champion Audley Harrison who has won his 10 fights as a pro.

Bruno won the WBC title with a unanimous points win over Oliver McCall in September 1995 before losing to Tyson in his first defence six months later.
