For more than 50 years, The Sun's boxing scribe Colin Hart has been at the biggest fights, delivered the biggest interviews and broken the biggest exclusives.

Here, he looks back on a half century in the sport that has seen him earn the top awards in boxing journalism, the Nat Fleischer award via the Boxing Association of America and his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

He was at the Fight of the Century between Frazier and Ali, in Zaire for the Rumble in the Jungle and in Manilla for the Thriller. He was a the Bite Fight, the Fan Man, the biggest upset in boxing history – Douglas-Tyson – and he witnessed the likes of Hagler, Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Chavez and many more in their primes.

Hart reflects on an incredible journey, the fighters he has met and the good, the bad and the ugly of the fight game.
