Best Boxer ESPY Award
Best Boxer ESPY Award is part of the ESPY Awards ceremony of the US sports broadcaster ESPN , which has been held annually since 1993 and honors the most outstanding boxer of the year (on a global level). In 2007 this award was renamed the Best Fighter ESPY Award , since MMA fighters can also be chosen since then . However, no MMA fighter has ever received this award.
