Hawaii sportscaster Les Keiter dies at 89

Les Keiter, a longtime Hawaii sportscaster who also called Muhammad Ali's first title win over Sonny Liston in 1964, has died just two weeks shy of his 90th birthday.

Keiter's wife, Lila, says Keiter was surrounded by family when he died Tuesday at Castle Medical Center.

Keiter retired in 1994 as sports director of Honolulu TV station KHON after starting his broadcasting career in Hawaii after World War II.

Between 1956 and 1985 he narrated a dozen championship heavyweight fights for ABC and the Mutual Broadcasting Co.
