[2] While Dunphy was best known as a boxing expert, he also broadcast the evening sports report on WINS in New York, and in mid-July 1943, he was chosen by the BBC to give a summary of the All-Star game that was relayed to American troops stationed in England and North Africa.

[4] In 1944, Dunphy was selected to do the New York Yankees play-by-play over WINS, assisted by Al Schacht.

[5] However, Schacht, best known as a comic, acknowledged that he was not comfortable doing play-by-play, and he was soon replaced by Bill Slater, a former announcer on WOR Radio.

Dunphy was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1988 and had a memorable cameo appearance in the 1971 Woody Allen movie Bananas.

He also called all of the fights in the 1980 United Artists film Raging Bull, which was directed by Martin Scorsese.
