Answer: Frank Bruno

Bruno was born in London in 1961 and turned professional in 1982. He became WBC world champion in 1995, when he won on points over Oliver McCall. Bruno's first defence of his title became his last professional fight, when he lost to Mike Tyson in 1996. On his retirement from boxing, Bruno pursued a career in entertainment, which included many appearances in pantomimes. Following his fights, he was regularly interviewed by the BBC boxing commentator Harry Carpenter, which led to the famous catchphrase quoted in the question.

Answer: Muhammad Ali

The fight was held at Wembley, and was not for a title. Cooper caught Cassius Clay, as he then was, near the end of the fourth round. Clay's trainer, Angelo Dundee, allegedly used smelling salts to help his boxer recover, in violation of boxing rules. Clay recovered in time to continue, and went on to win. Cooper fought him again, this time for the world championship, but lost once more.

Although he never became world champion, Cooper did hold the British, Commonwealth and European titles. In 2000, he became the first boxer to receive a knighthood.
