Yea read this on Yahoo earlier, gutted, really enjoyed his commentary along with Reg. It was his iconic voice that i remember from the early days of my boxing memories.
His interviews with Bruno were legendary !

RIP Big 'arry !

RIP Harry. One of THE great commentators ever along with Reg Gutteridge. They will be probably be up there talking about the greats. 2 of my favourite Harry Lines.

1) Frank Bruno v Mike Tyson 1989 when Bruno caught Tyson - "Get In There Frank.

2) Ali v Foreman 1974 - "Hes got him with the right hand, oh my god hes won the title back at 32"

[Kirkland Laing]

"Oh my god, he's won the title back at 32!"

Harry at the Rumble in the Jungle.

RIP.

Terrible this is...I mean it seems as though all our greats be it announcers, retired fighters etc are leaving us so quickly....

RIP- Harry....
