Frank Evans known as El Ingles has defied doctors' orders and stepped out of retirement and into the bullring just months after a quadruple heart bypass operation and knee replacement surgery.
He says he can resist the allure of the fight no more and will make a return to bullfighting after three years of retirement.
Comparing the sport to an "old girlfriend", he said: "She is more beautiful than she was before. Irresistible."
He is the only Briton to have reached Matador status, the profession's top level, and he has killed hundreds of bulls, some weighing up to 700 kilos.
He said: "I am just delighted to be back. I just want to be back doing what I do and that's living the life of a bullfighter."

Bullfighting is one of those controversial practices that pits tradition against ethics. Where do you stand?
