Joe Bugner, the British heavyweight who took Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier the distance, has died at the age of 75.

Hungary-born Bugner was starved of affection in the UK after sending national treasure Henry Cooper into retirement with a debated points win in 1971 to capture the British, Commonwealth and European crowns.
