BOXER David Haye has defended Frank Bruno's bid to get back into the ring.
He said the popular ex-world champion should be allowed to fight again.

I think if he wants to fight again, and the same goes for Roy Jones, they should just box in light hearted exhibition bouts against club fighters or old legends.
Putting them in with a guy who can still fight a bit and trying to knock them out is just dangerous, nobody should give approval for a real fight to go ahead now.
Bruno is just a very very very very annoying person at this point. First he was ripping off people's braincells by giving interviews and now he wants to rip off their money. Go take another right hook body-right uppercut head followed by a right uppercut head-left hook and right hook head.
Hayes is no fighters he's just an athlete who happend to put on boxing gloves. Thats why he left the sport for no reason then tried to make a ridiculous excuse. He tried staying home for a few yrs and realized how easy and financially rewarding it would be to be in the heavyweight division right now thats why he's back. His oppinion is not well respected within the sport of boxing
The man should be free to make this decision for himself.
well that's exactly the problem, he has had huge mental health problem's for a long time, he's been in and out of the lindon centre around half a dozen times...
pretty sure getting his brain hit repeatedly isn't going to help matters?
poor frank. i'd understand a little more if he never won a world title.
He should be happy and content with that.
He spent years blazing green in a tent outside his house re-watching his fights over and over again, which probably has added to the delusion of ' if i just did this' ' if i just made that adjustment ' then i could of done xyz.
People close to him are probably too scared to sit him down and look him dead in the eyes and say ' its over, let it go frank '
which is kinda understandable considering he is one scary looking mofo + mental illness to that.
Bruno said he needs to fight in order to maintain his sanity. It's like therapy for him. So I support his decision, if it helps him psychologically I just hope physically he doesn't take much punishment. Put him in with a boxer who has a bad losing record, like 2 wins and 12 defeats or something. Don't throw him in at the deep end, make sure the man is protected but allow him to express himself in the ring to preserve and hopefully bolster his overall mental condition. Bruno gave the boxing world lots of excitement and entertainment so if he feels that boxing is a way to keep him sane, to balance that zen, then he should be permitted to do it, but in a controlled, safe and closely supervised manner, and against either a low level opponent who is also over 40 years old.
If he wants to fight Danny Williams (or someone like that) they should let him fight.
It is not like he is going for the title, maybe a fight will close the book on his career (the way he wants to go out).
His last fight, he got KO'd by Tyson. He probably just wants a glorified sparring session to finish his career on his feet.
