Bruno faced multiple top-rated heavyweights throughout his career, including two defeats against Mike Tyson in 1989 and 1996 and a defeat againstLennox Lewisin 1993. The pinnacle of Frank's career came in 1995 when he defeated Oliver McCall at a packed Wembley Stadium, winning the WBC heavyweight title, Bruno's fourth world championship challenge. Frank ranked among BoxRec's 10 best heavyweights in the world 12 times and reached his career-high in 1984 with a ranking of No. 3 overall. In his first fight against Tyson, Bruno briefly rocked the world heavyweight champion before Tyson recovered and ultimately defeated Bruno when the referee stopped the contest in the fifth round. That close fight, combined with Bruno's ownership of the WBC title in 1995 and it being Tyson's third fight since his release from prison, were all selling points of the rematch to come in 1996. Bruno, while a big underdog, was expected to fare a bit better than he did in his second loss to Tyson. The bout ended up being Frank's last due to the recurrence of a severe eye injury he suffered in his first fight against Iron Mike. Bruno retired from boxing at the age of 34.
