Are Bruce Buffer and Michael Buffer related?

Michael and Bruce Buffer are half-brothers. Oddly, Bruce first learned about his half-brother when he saw him announcing a fight on television. He enquired to his family before discovering their family link. The pair then met each other for the first time in 1989 as adults.

Bruce learned that his father married young whilst serving in World War 2, having Michael in the process. Michael was then raised by foster parents after the war.
