Frank Bruno MBE
One of Britain’s best-loved sporting personalities, Frank Bruno is best known for being one of the UK’s greatest boxers in the 80s and 90s, with the pinnacle of his career seeing him crowned WBC heavyweight champion of the world in 1995. Since hanging up his gloves, Frank has set the after-dinner speaking circuit on fire with his infectious and charismatic personality delighting audiences everywhere.
Not only can he entertain, but Frank’s also become well-known for being one of the best diversity keynote speakers around. Throughout his career and later life, Frank has suffered from a number of mental health conditions including being diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder. These issues have impacted Frank’s life in a plethora of ways and, during all of his speaking occasions, he can discuss how he coped during these low moments in his life.
From humble beginnings, Frank showed a proficiency for boxing in his youth and aged just 21 he turned professional. As his profile grew, he quickly became one of the darlings of the British boxing scene, regularly selling out Wembley Arena and winning 40 of his 45 bouts. His first high-profile win came in 1985 when he defeated Swedish fighter Anders Eklund to claim the European heavyweight title, and he soon found himself facing up against some of the most formidable fighters on the planet – including two fights with the legendary Mike Tyson.
And, in 1995, his greatest career achievement arrived when he defeated Oliver McCall to win the WBC heavyweight title. When hired as an event speaker Frank is able to discuss these sporting highlights at length shining a spotlight on life in the limelight as well as the struggles he experienced behind closed doors.
In recent years, alongside his after-dinner speaking work, Frank has also earned a reputation for being a popular television personality appearing on the likes of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, Harry Hill’s TV Burp and The Weakest Link. Plus, he’s regularly taken part in national mental health campaigns to raise awareness for a number of issues in this field.
