Four New Awards Join the “José Sulaimán Trophy” to Honor the Heroes of the Boxing Grand Prix
The Boxing Grand Prix, the competition that has become the first world championship of professional boxing, will take another step forward in its mission to celebrate the greatness, spirit, and purest essence of the ring. Beginning this year, the tournament will introduce four special trophies, all inspired by the iconic golden flame of the “José Sulaimán Trophy,” the highest symbol of the event and the award received by the champions of each of the four divisions upon winning the final.
These new trophies, created from the original flame design, represent fundamental values of boxing: excellence, heart, power, and brotherhood. Each piece was conceptualized to tell a story, to capture emotions that simple statistics could never narrate, and to honor fighters who, even without being crowned champions, left an indelible mark on the tournament.
Wings of Excellence Trophy – For the Best Boxer of the Tournament The first trophy begins with a clear idea: flight, ascent, superiority. Wings emerge from the original flame as a symbol of sustained greatness. This award recognizes the fighter who shined from the very first day to the very last, the one who maintained an impeccable, flawless level, always above the rest. It is not only for the most consistent, but the most complete—one who embodies the ideal of the perfect boxer within the Grand Prix. It is the recognition for the one who stood “above everyone.”
Heart in Flames Trophy – For the Breakout Fighter of the Tournament If there is a spirit that defines boxing, it is that of the one who rises. The one who resists. The one who transforms adversity into momentum. This trophy, represented by a heart engulfed in flames, honors the fighter who demonstrated the purest form of courage: the underdog or “dark horse.” The competitor who may have been knocked down, who may have reached the brink of defeat, but found the strength to stand up and win. This award celebrates the boxer with the most heart—the one who turned the fight into an epic story of resilience.
The Glove Trophy – For the Tournament’s Knockout Artist With a powerful design, a single glove etched with lines that evoke the fiery energy of the flame, this trophy recognizes the fighter who delivered the most devastating knockout of the event. It is the award for the destroyer, the one who electrified the arena with pure power and lethal precision. The fighter who produced the knockout that will remain etched in the memory of the Boxing Grand Prix.
Spirit of Combat Trophy – For the Best Fight of the Tournament The final new piece pays tribute to something that goes beyond victory or defeat: the brotherhood created through the exchange of punches. Inspired by the concept of sportsmanship, this trophy honors the best fight of the tournament but also the human connection fighters build through respect, commitment, and shared courage. It is the award that celebrates the honor of the ring in its purest form.
