Boxing commentator Harry Carpenter dies
Description
Boxing commentator Harry Carpenter has died aged 84.
The former TV sports presenter died at King's College Hospital, London, on Saturday.
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.
