Every professional sport recognizes their best athletes with prestigious awards. Whether it is the Heisman trophy, a Super Bowl ring, the Cy Young award, the NBA?s MVP trophy or an Espy?s (Which are given out to all sports by ESPN).
Boxing is not a stranger to awards and recognition of their finest. However, being an individual sport these athletes are not as recognizable as their counterparts. Boxing is a sport in which many participate but few reach the status of superstar which entitles them to award quality recognition just as other professional sports.
The 2010 Boxing Diva awards are unique in that for all intents and purposes the recipients are chosen with good intentions, a smile and totally within the spirit of entertainment and fun.
