Unlikely, at least for a pure bruiser.

Supports need to either have enhancements, damage threat, or significant crowd control. They also need to scale well without gold being as important to that scaling.

Making a support bruiser that could be a threat without being impossible to balance for a solo lane looks incredibly difficult.

Oddities like Pyke TahmKench Galio are about as close as one can get.

Taric with his enchaned auto attacks and strong in combat sustain.

No.

Bruiser's are a class of champions that cannot function on low econ.

They need gold for big items like item 3078 item 3053 item 3748

 

This is the reason you don't see champions like Camille or Irelia being played as Support.

They may have good lockdown, damage and chase potential in their kit but they need big items to be champions.

 

Kayle is another "fighter" that I'd say is unviable as a Support.

She needs big items and levels to become a champion.

Kayle will never be able to hit her level 11 and 16 dream when she is splitting experience.

Trundle Riot always ends up nerfing him for it though.

TahmKench

No hes not a pure tank, most tanks have easily accessible hard cc, either in the form of an aoe or from multiple ways of doing it.

No, it cannot. Bruisers are notable for being melee, having little to no CC, but high damage and decent defensive stats, and relatively low mobility. The very core of their class is an anathema to the support role, and I don't believe the two extremes can be made to coexist in the same champion. You'd basically be making a tank support with high damage if you tried to make a bruiser support.
