The year 2020 paralyzed the world and boxing was no exception. The pandemic, which continues to cause damage in many aspects, brought the sport to a halt iaffecting its development and the activity of many of the fighters.

That is why 2021 was complicated and full of challenges, but the goal was to recover boxing, something in which the promoting companies around the world have had a lot of responsibility.  The WBA will announce its annual recognitions and both promotin company of the year and promoter of the year are among the categories. 

Big promoters such as Premier Boxing Champions, Matchroom Boxing, Top Rank or Golden Boy, as well as smaller promotions that work in all corners of the world, boxing has shown that it is capable of growing even in these complicated times. That is the reason why the WBA will be consulting with fans through its social media channels to take their opinions into account when awarding prizes. 

The task has been hard and continues despite the adversities. The WBA congratulates all those who have done their part to help boxing at this time and trusts in the work being done for the sport worldwide.
