BBC boxing commentator Harry Carpenter has died, a spokesman for his family said today.
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 corporations boxing coverage that he became best known.
