Boxing:Boxing commentator Harry Carpenter has died aged 84.
The former BBC television sports presenter died at London’s King’s College Hospital on Saturday, a spokesman for his family said today.
His lawyer David Wills said: “He had been unwell since last summer when he had a minor heart attack.
“The funeral has not been arranged but will be a family funeral, to be followed by a memorial service in London.”
Mr Carpenter leaves a widow and one son.
Carpenter became closely identified with Frank Bruno, whose catchphrase “Know what I mean, ‘arry?” featured in their post-fight interviews.
He worked as a sports reporter on national newspapers before joining the BBC and commentated on major sporting events including Wimbledon and the university boat race.
But it was as the public face - and voice - of the corporation’s boxing coverage that he became best known.
