Editing Joe Bugner (section)

====Comeback in Australia====
In 1986 Bugner moved to [[Australia]], where he adopted the nickname ''Aussie Joe'' after becoming an Australian citizen.<ref name="b-m">{{cite web|url=http://www.boxing-monthly.co.uk/content/9908/two.htm |title=Article Two – August 1999 |work=Boxing Monthly |access-date=25 October 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120620182922/http://www.boxing-monthly.co.uk/content/9908/two.htm |archive-date=20 June 2012 }}</ref> In Australia, Bugner launched a fairly successful comeback, earning good victories over world title contenders [[James Tillis]] and [[David Bey]] and an impressive victory over former [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] heavyweight champion [[Greg Page (boxer)|Greg Page]], gaining a world ranking in the process, after which he spoke of challenging reigning heavyweight champion [[Mike Tyson]].<ref>{{cite magazine | date=3 August 1987 | url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1066234/1/index.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025173256/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1066234/1/index.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=25 October 2012 | title=Scorecard | magazine=Sports Illustrated | access-date=26 November 2009 }}</ref> However, there was great clamour for a fight with fellow Briton [[Frank Bruno]]. The bout was touted as the biggest all-British heavyweight bout since Cooper Vs Bugner in 1971. The bout took place on 24 October 1987, and Bugner suffered an eighth-round TKO loss to the much younger and fresher world title contender for the Commonwealth championship in front of a huge crowd at [[White Hart Lane]] football stadium. Bugner promptly retired again following this defeat, only his third stoppage defeat in 20 years.{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}
