Tributes have been paid to Joe Bugner, the British heavyweight who took Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier the distance in a colourful career that spanned 32 years in the ring, after his death at the age of 75.
Bugner twice held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles and was a three-time European heavyweight champion during boxing’s golden age in the 1970s. However, a legitimate world title belt always eluded him.
