Jonathan Millard, ring announcer and Master of Ceremonies

The origins

About Jonathan

It started in 2009, in a packed community hall in Cardiff. A wrestling promoter, a microphone and 200 fans under local TV cameras. From that first show, I knew the ring was where I belonged: not fighting in it, but commanding it.

Since then I've announced stars of WWE and UFC and legends of the boxing ring, from Ricky Hatton and Sugar Shane Mosley to Lucas Browne. I've worked the historic York Hall and international stadiums, and broadcast live on BBC, Sky Sports and DAZN. My roots are in the South Wales valleys; today I'm booked by boxing and MMA promoters across the UK and internationally.

Away from the ring, I bring the same broadcast-standard professionalism to corporate award ceremonies, international pageants and the screen, with credits alongside Orlando Bloom and Tiger Shroff.

Ring announcing: boxing, MMA & kickboxing

BBBoC-licensed and broadcast-tested. I've introduced Ricky Hatton, Sugar Shane Mosley and Lucas Browne at venues from York Hall to international stadiums. Every fight night gets the build-up it deserves, the kind of presence that holds a packed arena still before the first bell.
