BC boxing commentator Harry Carpenter has died, a spokesman for his family said.
The 84-year-old 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.
A spokesman for Bruno said he was upset and shocked by the news.
The former heavyweight champion's agent said he was "very upset" at the news.
He said: "When I told him, he said it was 'terrible, sad news'.
"Frank has many acquaintances but not many real friends. Harry Carpenter was a friend."
