EX-heavyweight boxing champ Frank Bruno has revealed he was stalked by a woman who claimed he was the father of her child.
, 64, says he had to call after she turned up at events and then his home.
The star’s nightmare unfolded after the fan, who he had met briefly after a speaking engagement years earlier, started calling the office of his manager, Dave Davies.
She then turned up at one of his events with the child, insisting the former world title holder was the dad, although they had not slept together.
Bruno says: “I knew straight away the story she was telling was a load of baloney.
“I told Dave and he went back and spoke to the woman to say that there was no way I was the father of the child.
“But she wasn’t taking no for an answer.
“Dave pulled the lady to one side and said if she wanted to leave a lock of the lad’s hair we would even do a test.
“Once he said that she quickly disappeared.”
But she turned up at his home and he says: “Finding out she’s been sniffing around where I lived really gave me the heebie-jeebies.”
He adds: “Thankfully the Old Bill dealt with it.”
, tells the story in his new autobiography Bruno: Still Fighting.
It comes after revealed he was after suffering a suspected viral infection last year.
