Fans hail Adam Smith as ‘voice of boxing’ as Sky Sports legend does live TV interview on DAZN after cancer fight
VIEWERS were as thrilled as Adam Scott as the “voice of boxing” returned to live TV after winning a “brutal” fight with cancer.
The Sky Sports legend told DAZN it was “fantastic” to be back ringside for Katie Taylor’s revenge bid against Chantelle Cameron in Dublin – after being in hospital for the first fight.
And armchair sports fans were overjoyed to see Scott behind a microphone after he departed from Sky after 29 years earlier this month.
Viewers said, “When he spoke it just felt so right” and “It’s so nice to see him back”.
And featherweight hopeful Ellie Sctoney posted: “Adam Smith is just the voice of boxing isn’t he.”
A fourth observer wrote: “Can’t tell you how pleased this made me. Actually… I can. I was f***ing delighted to see him back!”
Scott himself was also enthralled to be so close to the action again.
He said: “It’s great to be here, it’s great to be alive. It’s fantastic, I’m cancer free, back at ringside.”
He added: “I’m here for Katie Taylor, an old friend of ours.
“My wife’s over there. My kids will be watching at home. We’ve gone through the whole Katie Taylor story.
“She’s been the queen for Ireland, the gem here. The atmosphere is phenomenal.
“I couldn’t make it to the first fight with Chantelle Cameron. I was still in hospital and I wanted to be here for the rematch.”
