For the second time in a great career, Robert Garcia is the BWAA 2024 Trainer of the Year, and for the fourth time in what is a Hall of Fame career, Egis Klimas is the 2024 Manager of the Year.


Veteran broadcaster Marv Albert is the BWAA 2024 Sam Taub Award winner for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism.  


Gleason's Gym owner Bruce Silverglade was voted the BWAA 2023 Marvin Kohn Good Guy Award winner. Top Rank and Hall of Fame matchmaker Brad Goodman is the BWAA 2024 Barney Nagler Award winner for Long and Meritorious Service winner.


Finally, the BWAA is very proud to announce that Prichard Colon and family have been named as the BWAA 2024 John McCain-Bill Crawford Courage Award winner.

The BWAA 2024 female Fight of the Year was the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Thomas Gerbasi is the BWAA 2024 Nat Fleischer Award winner for Excellence in Boxing Journalism.
