A FORMER boxing world champion is to visit Ulverston later this year to share stories of his career.

Frank Bruno, WBC heavyweight champion in 1995/96 will hold an evening at Coronation Hall in Ulverston on August 26.

Cumbria MC John Lebbon has helped organise the evening, citing a lack of such sporting nights in the area.

"They do them a lot in west Cumbria," he said. "It's just an entertaining evening where Frank will talk about his career and the crowd can ask him questions and get photos."

Comedian Greg Cook will also be in attendance, and there will be a sports auction to raise money for local charities and clubs.

Tickets for the evening with Frank Bruno are available from the Coronation Hall and cost £35 each.
