Nigerian born British boxer, Anthony Joshua has been named the Boxer of the Year at the British Boxing Board of Control's awards dinner in London.


The IBF and WBA world heavyweight champion was recognised for his achievements for the 12 months from August 2016, in which he successfully defended his IBF title against Eric Molina before winning the WBA belt against
Wladimir Klitschko.

Tony Bellew, George Groves, Terry Flanagan, Lee Selby and Kal Yafai were also in contention.

The Trainer of the Year went to Rob McCracken, who oversaw 27-year-old Joshua's victories, and who was also awarded the Dennie Mancini Trophy.

Joshua-Klitschko, in which both fighters suffered
knock-downs before Joshua eventually stopped the Ukrainian in the 11th round at Wembley Stadium, was named Contest of the Year.

The award for Overseas Boxer of the Year went to America's Errol Spence, who in May defeated Kell Brook in 11 rounds to win the IBF welterweight title.
