Sad indeed, that's the voices of rugby and boxing gone now. Do you think Murray Walker should be getting nervous?

I have to say, I'd never heard of him. But sad news anyway, RIP Harry.

Immortalized by Frank Bruno's "Know what I mean, Harry" and such a distinctive voice, shame

Very sad to hear. His double act with Big Frank was TV legend.

I can see Frank Bruno and Muhammad Ali, both big fans of Harry, being very sad today as well as many others in the boxing world.
