#39 Ian Darke

For more than 30 years Ian Darke was the voice of boxing. Alongside Jim Watt and Glenn McCrory, Darke covered all the big names from Tyson, Bruno and Lewis to Hamed, Hagler and Barrera. In this wide-ranging interview, Darke talks about his break into the sport – which was covering the Ali-Holmes heavyweight fight – his biggest nights ringside, some of his fondest memories and the bedlam of the nights when boxing got it wrong. Funny, articulate and a brilliant raconteur, Darke relives more than three decades of fights from behind the microphone, either at ringside or interviewing boxing's legendary names.
