    Harry Carpenter, BBC’s voice of boxing for a generation, dies aged 84Patrick Foster,
    Harry Carpenter, the BBC boxing commentator known for his on-air banter with Frank Bruno, has died at the age of 84.

    Carpenter, the subject of Bruno’s catchphrase: “Know what I mean, ‘arry?”, was the voice of the BBC’s boxing coverage for 45 years, having joined the corporation in 1949.

    A spokesman for his family said the presenter died in his sleep at King’s College Hospital, in London, in the early hours of Saturday.

    David Wills, his solicitor, 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.”

    Always sad when someone dies but to get into their 80s after a sucessful life doing something they loved and dying peacefully in their sleep…. perfecto.
