Frank Bruno v
Carl "the Truth" Williams
Live coverage from the National Exhibition Centre,
Birmingham, of Frank Bruno 's fourth fight since making his much heralded comeback 18 months ago. Having already seen off the challenges of John Emmen , Jose Ribalta and Pierre Coetzer , Bruno is tonight expected to face his toughest test yet. A convincing win would almost certainly clinch a third heavyweight title challenge against fellow Briton, WBC world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis. Bruno's opponent, the experienced American Carl
"the Truth" Williams, had two world title shots himself in the 1980s, losing to Larry Holmes in 1985 and Mike Tyson four years later. Commentary by Harry Carpenter. Introduced by Desmond Lynam. Producer Chris Lewis
