The Knockout

After graduating from King's College, Cambridge with a degree in Classics, Andy Clarke took an interesting route from the study of ancient art and literature to sports broadcasting with a focus on boxing. He did it the traditional way learning the ropes in radio at Talksport before moving to TV where he’s now lead boxing commentator at Sky Sports after also working for the likes of the BBC, Channel 5 and ESPN amongst many others in over twenty years in the industry.

The job has taken him to Champions League finals, World Cups and Olympic Games but his most cherished position always has been and always will be at ringside. He’s commentated on thousands of fights both amateur and pro and been present at many of the biggest occasions the sport has seen over the last few years.
 
Andy’s travelled the world with boxing; from Wembley to Madison Square Garden, from Saudi Arabia to Kazakhstan, whichever town that most colourful of sporting circuses rolls into, that’s where you’ll likely find him

 —Carl Froch, three-time world Super Middleweight champion | “Andy Clarke goes in search of the knockout - he talks to boxers about landing a knockout punch and being knocked out. The book delivers the knockout.”
