Former heavyweight world champion Frank Bruno has said receiving the Freedom of the City of London for his sporting achievements and mental health campaigning “means more to me than the MBE”.

Bruno, who has spoken openly about his mental health, told the Press Association he “should have come forward” earlier, before he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
