Oliver McCall vs. Frank Bruno, billed as "The Empire Strikes Back", was a professional boxing match contested on 2 September 1995 for the WBC Heavyweight Championship.

Since then he had made one defence of his title, a hotly contested and closely fought decision against former world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes on 8 April 1995.

However, McCall absorbed the punishment, put up little defense and waited until the fifth round to throw a meaningful punch.

McCall returned to the ring 6 months later when he beat future WBC heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev.

In 1997 he fought a rematch again Lennox Lewis for the now vacant WBC title, which he lost in bizarre fashion as he refused to fight and started crying.
