Antonio "Tony" Pietro Ally (born Ali, 17 August 1973) is a British diver.
[8][9] Ally won gold in the European Championships for the three metre event in 1999,[10] being the first British diver to win the medal.
[1] The achievement came just a year after a significant motorbike accident in Italy and is considered by Ally as being among his most memorable sporting moments.
[citation needed] Outside of diving, Ally also trained in boxing, having said during a 2005 interview that he wished he had taken up the sport 20 years earlier.
Ally attributed his healthier lifestyle to boxing, having lost 2 stone (28 lb; 13 kg) and significantly reduced his body fat.
[citation needed] On 11 August 2012, he appeared on BBC News Live programme,[11] as part of a panel discussion about Tom Daley's diving progression.
