Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno's cars for sale
09 July 2008 Auto Trader has a pair of cars previously owned by famous boxing rivals Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno. Earlier this year we reported on a 6.75-litre Bentley Continental SC previously owned by “Iron” Mike Tyson. And now Tyson’s Bentley is joined on Auto Trader by a 4.4-litre Range Rover Vogue previously owned by former heavyweight champion Frank Bruno. Frank Bruno – who began his professional boxing career in 1980 – was the second owner of this 2002 4.4-litre Range Rover Vogue. The six-year-old Range Rover is the top spec model and Frank Bruno has opted for 22-inch chrome wheels and a diamond-studded key fob as luxury extras. Frank Bruno made a name for himself in the Eighties, quickly notching up 21 consecutive straight wins by way of knockout before taking on Mike Tyson in 1989 for the unified world heavyweight title. Despite being floored by the 23-year-old American fighting prodigy, Bruno rocked Tyson with a massive left hook in the first round, but lost the bout in the fifth. Bruno eventually got his chance of world glory in 1995 – following a failed heavyweight challenge against former world champion Lennox Lewis – by beating Oliver McCall over twelve rounds. A rematch with old adversary Mike Tyson meant Bruno only held on to the world title for a short while, after being beaten by way of knockout in round three.
