At the start of 2014 we approached a number of the UK`S most respected Officials, Commentators and Coaches with the intention of recognising both Male and Female "Fighter of the Year" awards. Judged along the same lines as the "Sports writers award" in Thailand the aim is to acknowledge each year, the outstanding athletes currently competing on the UK fight scene
Results will be taken from January to December with the criteria simple, all boxers based in the UK can qualify, there is no set amount of fights nor does winning all neccaserily guarentee being short listed, same can be said for a loss. Its simply down to quality of opposition
On the first drafft (March) we had 21 males and 11 females listed, this is a short list based on the year so far, activity both past and future has been taken into account but boxers can be added or taken off. It is merely a starting point. Some fighters have had a slow start, some have big fights lined up, its more a reflection of the information submitted by you, the coaches and fighters on the scene rather than a final draft.
Please feel free to nominate fighters, or suggest who you think deserves a mention. The final short list of eight fighters (5 male & 3 female) will be voted on by a number of respected people within the sport, the two males with the least (one female) votes will be cut then a vote on the finalists will determine who is the Thai Fighter "Fighter of the Year 2014"
