Former WBC heavyweight world champion Frank Bruno fought in 45 professional contests and the fan-favourite Londoner has revealed the surprising opponent who hit him the hardest during his career.<\/p>\n
Bruno famously failed in his first three challenges for the heavyweight throne, losing by knockout to each of Tim Witherspoon, Mike Tyson<\/a> and Lennox Lewis<\/a>, before finally overcoming Oliver McCall to get his hands on the coveted title<\/a> at the fourth attempt.<\/p>\n Yet, the reign of \u2018True Brit\u2019 would not last long, as a rematch with Tyson in his first defence resulted in a second stoppage defeat to the hard-hitting American \u2013 in what turned out to be Bruno\u2019s final fight.<\/p>\n However, despite sharing the ring with six heavyweight champions during his time in the ring, Bruno told Solus Ceramics<\/a> that nobody hit him harder than Floyd Cummings, whom he trumped over via seventh-round stoppage in his 19th pro outing.<\/p>\n \u201cOf all of them I\u2019d have to say Floyd \u2018Jumbo\u2019 Cummings [hit me the hardest]. I can still feel the right hand he gave me in 1983.\u201d<\/p>\n
