PHILADELPHIA – Rising Philadelphia boxing star, Avery Sparrow, really made a career breakthrough in 2017. The junior lightweight won four bouts during the year, including two main events, and two national TV appearances. He started 2017 as a promising young local, but by the end of the year, Sparrow had broken into the world rankings.

Na Březen 25, 2018, Sparrow will be honored with two Briscoe Awards for his accomplishments. První, he led the fan voting in the “Prospect roku” category, and also won the “Breakout Fighter roku 2017” unopposed. Sparrow will receive his two awards at the 11výroční ceny Briscoe Awards ceremony, a party for the boxing community, na Klubovna VBA ve Philadelphii.

“Sparrow really made a name for himself in 2017,” řekl John DiSanto, zakladatel Briscoe Awards. “Big expectations have surrounded Sparrow since the beginning of his career, but last year he really showed everyone what big potential he has.”

A number of other fighters like Jaron Ennis, Tyrone Brunson, Dylan Price, Marcel Rivers, Kermit Cintron, and Jerome Conquest, will also be honored in various categories for their 2017 accomplishments.
