Legendary boxing judge/analyst Harold Lederman dead at 79
I always enjoyed his perspective. RIP.
Harold Lederman, HBO’s unofficial judge, has died following a battle with cancer at the age of 79.
Lederman, who graced the sport with his insight and precious smile for four decades, caused an out-pour of emotion when the news broke he passed away.
Several top boxing personnel rushed to send out their condolences to a man much-loved by those who knew him and enjoyed his infectious persona. Boasting his own segment, ‘Hey Harold!’ was a regular feature on HBO’s big fight coverage.
In 2016, Lederman was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame before HBO stepped away after 45 years in 2018.
