Former
World heavyweight champion boxer was admitted back in hospital after suffering a relapse for bipolar disorder. Londoner
Frank, who has been sectioned three times in the past 12 years, went to
hospital on Thursday with severe depression.
Just days ago the former world heavyweight champion
was pictured finishing the Great North Run despite an ongoing struggle with the
condition.
He
voluntarily admitted himself into a hospital which specialises in bipolar
disorder after his friends and family grew concerned about him.
The
53-year-old has been sectioned three times in the past 12 years.
Bruno's
career ended abruptly in 1996 after he was beaten by Mike Tyson and risked
going blind if he fought again.
He
was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003. He
spent two enforced spells in a psychiatric hospital in 2012 to stabilise his
condition when his mental health suddenly deteriorated again — nine years after
he was first sectioned.
Mr
Bruno has previously described his battle with mental illness as 'the toughest
fight of my life.'
