Dmitry Bivol On , he said he didn’t know in advance that he would be recognized as the best boxer of 2022 according to the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA).
WBA (Super) light heavyweight champion Bivol on January 10 became the first Russian boxer to receive the title in the award’s 84-year history.
– It is very important for me. First as an athlete, because all of the people who have been on this list for 84 years are all boxing legends who have written their names in history. This year I had the opportunity. And his name is written there too. For me, it’s very positive and joyful. And that motivates me to continue.
To be honest, I didn’t know that price. But just when I saw what kind of faces had received this award, I realized these were all the people I learned to box from. In other words, they are all boxing legends of the past.
It’s mostly Muhammad Ali, the same George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao – many legends, Bivol said on .
