Frank Bruno hospitalised after falling ‘seriously ill’ on flight
Former heavyweight boxing champion Frank Bruno was hospitalised after falling ‘seriously ill’ on a long-haul flight earlier this month.
Bruno was supposed to be heading on to Thailand as part of a speaking tour but fell ill midway through the first part of his long-haul journey.
The father of four was treated by airport medics after landing in Doha, Qatar with a ‘fevirish’ condition before being taken to hospital for further tests.
The Sun reports that the British boxing icon was then kept in Al Wakra Hospital hospital for two weeks having been diagnosed with a viral condition.
Bruno even had his passport taken away to prevent him from leaving the hospital, but his manager Dave Davies said the 63-year-old is now recovering and looking forward to returning to work as soon as possible.
‘Frank was flying out to work in Thailand when he was taken ill on the plane at Doha,’ Davies said.
‘Medical crew attended Frank on the plane and at hospital. He’s now recovering and hopes to be back at work as soon as possible.’
