December 5th 2024.
The 2025 British Boxing Awards is fast approaching, and the nominees have been announced, causing quite a stir in the boxing world. Among the contenders for the prestigious awards are heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Daniel Dubois. It has been a remarkable year for the sport, especially in the heavyweight division, with Dubois emerging as a rising star after his stunning victory over Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September.
The year started off with a bang for Joshua, with a thrilling knockout win over Francis Ngannou. However, his defeat to 'Dynamite' Dubois has motivated him to make a comeback and reclaim his spot at the top. Fury, on the other hand, suffered his first professional loss in May, losing to Oleksandr Usyk in a highly anticipated undisputed title fight. But he has the chance to redeem himself and end 2024 on a high note when he faces Usyk in a rematch on December 21st in Saudi Arabia.
Aside from the heavyweight division, there are also other notable nominees, such as Katie Taylor for Female Boxer of the Year. The Irish superstar is coming off a sensational victory over Amanda Serrano in November, defending her undisputed super-lightweight crown. Another rising star to watch out for is Caroline Dubois, sister of heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, who has also been nominated for the Female Boxer of the Year award.
Apart from the boxers, there are also other categories, such as Business of the Year and Best Breakthrough Business. Promoters, coaches, and trainers are also recognized in the awards, with legendary names such as Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren being nominated for the Outstanding Contribution to the Sport of Boxing award.
This will be the first time that the British boxing industry will have a flagship event to recognize and commend the people and organizations contributing to the phenomenal growth of the sport. The event will be hosted by boxing legends Ricky Hatton and Nicola Adams, who are both excited about the incredible shortlist of nominees.
In addition to the prestigious awards, there are also other categories such as Grassroots Boxing Hero/Initiative of the Year and Outstanding Commitment to CSR, highlighting the importance of giving back to the community and promoting the sport at all levels.
The 2025 British Boxing Awards is a celebration of the sport and all those who have made it what it is today. With a diverse and impressive list of nominees, it promises to be a night to remember. Let's raise our gloves and cheers to all the contenders!
