The Fight

I just saw highlights of Lennox Lewis' fight against Frank Bruno from Cardiff in 1993 and the memories flooded back.

This fight was so great for Cardiff. It put us on the world stage. There was a great buzz in the city leading up to the day.

I'd have to say it was one of my favourite teenage memories and was quite possibly the first boxing match I stayed up late for.

My mother and sister were in bed and my father was at a Lewis versus Bruno party so I laid on the sofa eating mini Bounty and Snickers bars.

Yes, I can even remember what I was eating on that night!

I have the VHS somewhere. One day I will dust it off and watch it while transferring it to DVD.
