You can learn more about my sports broadcasting and journalism career at richardparr.net. Feel free to get in touch if you need someone with my skills and experience.

Professional Wrestling is my other big passion.

I've interviewed WWE Superstars such as Ric Flair, Edge and Big Show for Sky Sports.

I commentated on TNA and New Japan for Eurosport.

And I've been a ring announcer for QPW introducing Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio and Sting.

I'm a huge football fan. I have supported Brighton ever since I was a kid going to the Goldstone Ground.

It turned out two of my neighbours played for the club just as I started going to games.

I often appear on the Daily Brighton podcast as a guest.

In 2005 I earned the Eurosport Masters in Multimedia Sports Journalism at the Universidad Europea de Madrid.

It included a 3-month internship at Eurosport's European headquarters in Paris. I would later freelance as a commentator for Eurosport.

Between 2005-2008 & 2009-11 I worked for Sky Sports.

I really learned my craft during this time working for various departments in different roles.

This included being a sub-editor for Sky Sports News & an assistant producer for Sky's digital offerings where I would edit & voice match highlights.

Between 2011-2016 and 2008-09 I worked on the sports desk at Al Jazeera English in Doha, Qatar.

Producing daily sports bulletins, I also had the opportunity to present and report on the international news channel.

I also field produced at the 2012 London Olympics & 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

I also interviewed over 100 World and Olympic champions on the Best in the World with Richard Parr podcast.

I learned incredible insights from these champions to find out what they do differently from the rest of us to be the best.

Between 2016 and 2018, I streamed a daily sports breakfast show on Facebook Live & YouTube called Sportuccino.

Pretty much a video podcast using Skype before it became the norm post-pandemic!

Between 2018 and 2023, I produced CNN World Sport.

I led a team in London and Atlanta producing a daily 30-minute sports news show.

I also field produced at major events including the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

I've been back freelancing as a sports broadcaster, journalist & producer for the last year.

Work includes:
- Voicing Ligue 1 highlights.
- Commentating Premier League games for Livescore & FotMob.
- Producing written & video content for BBC Africa Sports.
- Editing highlights for Chelsea FC.
