Former WBC heavyweight champion Frank Bruno will be returning to Wandsworth, his former stomping ground on Saturday 14th October, to sign copies of his book 60 Years A Fighter, at Southside Shopping Centre.
Last year Frank appeared at the ‘Up Close and Personal’ standing-room-only event at the Town Hall, where he relieved tales of growing up in the borough.
Frank grew up in Barmouth Road and started boxing aged 9 at Wandsworth Boys Club. He is many different things to many people – world champion boxer, national treasure, pantomime star, comedic partner to Harry Carpenter.
For his book, written as he turned 60, Frank shared the story of his remarkable life so far.
At times harrowing, at times hilarious, but always 100 per cent honest. Frank, opens up on his journey to becoming a World Champion and the fight which has come after retirement with mental ill health.
In recent years, Frank, has turned his own struggles into a mission, becoming a champion for mental health with his own charity, the Frank Bruno Foundation.
His visit to Southside coincides with World Mental Health Day, which takes place on Tuesday October 10th.
Frank Bruno, will be signing copies of his book 60 Years A Fighter, on Saturday 14th October at Southside Shopping Centre, Wandsworth, London, SW18 4TF, outside Waitrose from 12pm
