By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. Frank Bruno revealed yesterday to the press that he had been sectioned in the hospital against his will twice this year over mental health issues. In recent years the retired Heavyweight Champ, has had health issues related to his mental condition, but has always bounced back. In one of his recent hospital stays, a scary event happened. A patient at the hospital tried to attack Bruno with a knife.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror (a UK media publication), Bruno spoke out on his horrible ordeal regarding the attempted knife assault. Bruno stated: "I was sitting in the dining area when I saw a guy out the corner of my eye. He'd grabbed a knife out the kitchen and was coming at me when security staff bundled him over."

Although Bruno froze when he saw the patient coming at him with a knife, he was not scared but rather in shock over the incident. Bruno explained to the publication: "I didn't feel scared. How can you feel frightened of anything when you have been in the ring with Mike Tyson twice? But it did shock me."

Bruno's Tyson remark is funny for sure, and it's good to see he is on the mend using his famous wit and humor. Because of the intended knife assault, Bruno realized he had to work harder than ever to get better and get out of the Hospital.
