Why would they announce this in September? There are still months of great fights coming up.

Joshua should be British fighter of the year. He unified 3 belts and managed to KO Povetkin. Probably Bellew's possible win over Usyk will sound like a bigger achievement, but the thing is this win is not so possible.

What tosser came up with the idea of a boxing season?
Boxing has absolutely no need for seasons.

It’s not a season lik football season. I guess they could have just done the awards in February instead. That way you get a shortlist from Jan to Dec.

Probably TV companies, so they don't have to put on shows during summer while everyone is away or over christmas when everyone is watching Die Hard.

Anthony Joshua deserves this award far more than Josh Taylor.

Doesn’t really matter why or what your opinion on it is, there is a boxing season and that’s why the awards are in September.

I don't knock Josh for winning. It just seems unusual.
He was taken to school in his biggest fight for 2/5ths of it, dosent have a championship belt, and in my estiamte, is still on the infancy of his career. Next year if he wins the WBSS are they going to give it to him again?
I agree that Joshua's year was bigger as far as high level world achievement goes, and for his invigoration of the sport.
Taylor has an odd position of being ranked #1 by boxrec and no belt.
