“2017 was a memorable year for our local boxing scene, and it will be great to bring everyone together to celebrate it,” said John DiSanto, founder of the Briscoe Awards. “Our event is really just a party – food, drinks, and a coming together of everyone who loves this sport. It’s always great to see the mix of people that come to the Briscoe Awards. The highlight however, is throwing the spotlight on the fighters who worked so hard to entertain all of us fans. It’s always a good day and a fun time.”

Attending the Briscoe Awards this year will be big winner TYRONE BRUNSON, who will receive three awards – voor “Fighter”, “Gevecht”, en “Performance of the Year”, AVERY SPARROW, both the “Prospect van het Jaar” en de “Breakout Fighter of 2017”, JARON ENNIS, named “The One to Watch”, DYLAN PRICE, de “Rookie van het Jaar”, MARCEL RIVERS, who scored the “Knock-out van het Jaar”, RAYMOND FORD, de “Amateur van het jaar”, en JEROME CONQUEST, who will receive the “Everett Brothers Award”.

De “Photo of the Year” will also be chosen by those in attendance. Former boxing stars, current fighters, fans, and other members of the fight fraternity round out the typical Briscoe Awards crowd.
