Harrison v Bruno

14.04 - In response to media reports Hazel Bruno-Gilbert, Business Manager to Audley Harrison, today announced that the offer made by Frank Bruno, to box Olympic Gold Medallist Audley Harrison was being considered by A-Force Promotions.

“Harrison is by far the highest profile heavyweight prospect of recent years and Frank Bruno was undoubtedly the darling of the British public during his successful career.

“The fight would have mass appeal with the British public and Audley is ready to accept the challenge. Providing terms between both parties can be agreed, all the issues relating to Frank Bruno’s medical condition are established and most importantly that this contest fits in with our plans for Audley’s boxing development”, said Hazel Bruno-Gilbert.

“Audley will not avoid Danny Williams, Herbie Hide and now Frank Bruno who are all attempting to secure a bout with him. It is clearly apparent that the chance to fight Audley Harrison is the ultimate prize these fighters now crave, even though his career is just ten fights old”, continued Bruno-Gilbert.

Bruno-Gilbert further explained, “We have been aware of Frank Bruno’s interest for some time, however, we still await a firm written proposal from Frank Bruno or indeed Frank Warren, assuming he is representing Bruno”.

The Olympic Gold Medallist said, “Frank was a hero to me in the eighties and early nineties, I think he was an outstanding boxing ambassador for Great Britain and it would be a honour to share a ring with him; when the time is right and of course if it is actually safe for him to do so!”
