Usyk tops 2024 Boxing Writers Association of America winners<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Boxing Writers Association of America released the results of its annual awards naming the best boxer, fight, trainer and manager of 2024, as well as several supporting honors.<\/p>\n

Heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, who defeated Tyson Fury twice in 2024, was named the BWAA Sugar Ray Robinson Fighter of the Year.
\nUsyk also took part in what may be the BWAA’s other most prestigious award, the Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier Fight of the Year, which went to his first meeting with Fury, held on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The Eddie Futch Trainer of the Year award went to Robert Garcia, who runs his boxing academy in Oxnard, California. In 2024, Garcia guided rising pound-for-pound super flyweight star Jesse \u201cBam\u201d Rodriguez and new interim super welterweight champion Vergil Ortiz Jr., among others.<\/p>\n

Egis Klimas was named BWAA Cus D\u2019Amato Manager of the Year. Klimas manages the careers of Usyk and Vasiliy Lomachenko.
\nOther 2024 BWAA award winners include Bruce Silverglade (Nice Guy); Marv Albert (Broadcasting); Brad Goodman (Meritorious Service); Prichard Colon (Courage to Overcome Adversity).<\/p>\n
