    Let’s be realistic, he’s done as far as Sky are concerned. He’s hardly a ‘ must have ‘ talent. No one else will have him unless he winds up at DAZN but that seems unlikely as Hearn does all the broadcasting roles in house and he’s a joke of a commentator. I imagine he’s going to have to find a ‘ normal ‘ job. There’s a lot of sympathy for him which is fair enough but the rose coloured spectacles are a bit much. A dreadful commentator, who ruined so many fights with his pre-fight narratives that he stuck to regardless of how the fight developed and the ludicrous verbal cul-de-sacs he went down which he did not know how to end are not something I’ll miss going forwards. He made Alan Partridge look like David Attenborough.

    Good riddance. Let's hope he never returns. Ruined every single boxer's entrance with his inane waffling. Voice of a trainspotter also.

    Ian Darke is the best UK boxingcommentator I´ve heard in my life, but Andy Clarke is doing a good job on Sky.

    What was the supposed reason for why he's no longer working with Sky?

    Who really gives a heck? Cast your mind back to what he said about Bellews tattoo!!! Like really, what the hell made him even think let alone say it? Always waffling he was.
