Speaker Profile
Over 40 years covering the fight game, ringside at the sport’s biggest nights.
Who He Is
Steve Bunce is not just a broadcaster; he is one of Britain’s most respected and charismatic sports voices. Best known as the definitive voice of
boxing
on
BBC Radio 5 Live,
Steve has spent more than four decades deeply embedded in the fight game.
He doesn't just report on sport—he understands the pressure, the resilience, and the human truth behind every performance. Known across the industry as “Buncey”, he blends rich history with sharp analysis—bringing elite performance to life with a storyteller’s heart.
Steve’s media career began in 1984—taking him from print journalism to national broadcasting. He became a prolific voice in British sports writing, contributing heavily to The Daily Telegraph in the 1990s, alongside The Independent and Boxing Monthly.
On the airwaves, his presence is unmatched. As a familiar voice on BBC Radio 5 Live, and a regular on Fighting Talk and Inside Sport, he has helped shape how audiences experience the fight game.
His television career has seen him front Steve Bunce’s Boxing Hour on Setanta Sports and BoxNation, and present the UK version of Pardon the Interruption.
But his expertise extends far beyond the ring. Steve has attended nine Olympic Games, covering elite athletes across a huge spectrum of sport—from curling to Taekwondo— understanding what happens when years of preparation meet ultimate pressure.
Away from the microphone, Steve is a celebrated author who captures the raw magic of the sporting world. He is the acclaimed author of the novel The Fixer and essential non-fiction works including Bunce’s Big Fat Short History of British Boxing.
His definitive work, Around the World in 80 Fights: A Lifetime's Journey to the Heart of Boxing, takes readers through four decades of ringside stories and global boxing culture.
