He certainly hasn’t discussed it with me.
“One thing is for certain. He will have to prove himself again with a clash against a top-rated opponent before he will be considered for a world title. He certainly isn’t going to jump the queue ahead of people like the British champion, Scott Welch.”Bruno has already informed the promoter Don King and would consider taking on Tyson again, although the new World Boxing Organisation champion, Henry Akinwande, is a more likely opponent.Bruno said: “I want to fight on I love what I do. I want to be the first British heavyweight fighter to win two world titles My desire has not gone.”. Donie Butler, the commercial manager of the Football Association of Ireland for more than 10 years, has tendered his resignation. This year the FAI chief executive Sean Connolly, treasurer Joe Delaney and national coach Joe McGrath have left. Warren, who promoted Bruno’s last contest – the defeat by Mike Tyson in Las Vegas four months ago – said: “It is up to him what he wants to do.

Warren was surprised when he learned that Bruno had announced that he would fight on in search of another world title. Frank Warren has warned Frank Bruno that he must prove himself all over again if he wants a sixth world title fight. The Super League chief executive, Maurice Lindsay, has appealed for clubs to give the new Super League format a chance and not to rush into another bout of restructuring. The meeting of the Rugby League Council today is due to debate a proposal from Lindsay’s old club, Wigan, for yet another new system, involving splitting the league into two sections after one home-and-away programme.
“Clubs will be putting forward ideas, but what we do not want is any knee-jerk proposals, based on short-term interests,” Lindsay said.The plan of Jack Robinson, the Wigan chairman, would give top clubs more games against each other, but Lindsay said that such suggestions were undermining the credibility of the competition in its first season.In another dig at the club he brought to pre-eminence during the 1980s, Lindsay said that Wigan and Leeds had “lost the plot” during the inaugural season and that their falling crowds were pulling the averages down.Despite that, the League released figures yesterday to show that attendances are running well ahead of most clubs’ averages over the last 20 years.Compared with the last complete winter season in 1994-95, however, seven Super League clubs and a majority in the lower divisions are showing a decrease, which suggests that the case for summer rugby remains unproven.The Council will finally make a decision today on South Wales’ application to be fast-tracked into Super League, but Huddersfield have asked for their application to be deferred.. The Courage League champions will pay Salford Rugby League Club around pounds 40,000 for the 28-year-old forward who joined the rugby league ranks in 1993.. The 19-year-old has so far divided his rugby between his school and Otley.

Sampson won the English Schools 100 metres title on his 19th birthday last Saturday with a time of 10.48sec.Richard Webster is heading back to rugby union after agreeing a three- year deal with Bath. The names, and number of the other members of the team, have yet to be announced. Since Brittle called for all the members of the original team who negotiated the much-criticised BSkyB deal, to stand down, there is some doubt as to what Richardson will do.Paul Sampson, the Bradford schoolboy who trained with England ’s Five Nations squad last winter, is to join Wasps on a three-year contract. He confirmed that a special working party with two independent non-committee members was being set up to investigate the working practices of the RFU and relations between staff, officers and the various committees. It is expected to report to the president in early September with recommendations for possible policy changes.Richardson and Cliff Brittle, the chairman of the RFU executive committee are to head a new RFU negotiating team at a meeting with the other home unions in Cardiff on Tuesday.
