The Applied Nutrition British Boxing Awards 2025 took place on Friday, March 28, at The Langham Hotel in London, celebrating the finest talents in British boxing. 

Hosted by legendary world champions Ricky Hatton and Nicola Adams, the event honoured outstanding achievements in the sport over the past year.

The event also saw some of the biggest names in the sporting world come together, including the likes of Wayne Rooney, Chris Eubank Snr and Carl Froch.  

The Male Boxer of the Year award was presented to heavyweight sensation Daniel Dubois. However, he was unable to attend the event in-person on Friday afternoon. 

The 27-year-old British star has firmly established himself as a leading figure in the heavyweight division - knocking out Anthony Joshua in devastating fashion.

In September 2024, he captured the IBF heavyweight title by defeating AJ via a fifth-round knockout that shook Wembley Stadium to its core.

This victory was a testament to Dubois' resilience and dedication, attributes cultivated during a disciplined upbringing under his father.

Dubois was looking to defend his title against Joseph Parker as part of the Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol 2 card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

However, Dubois was forced to pull out of the highly-anticipated bout due to illness - with Parker taking on Martin Bakole instead. 

Dubois is said to be in talks to face Ukrainian boxing legend Oleksandr Usyk next, with June being touted as the potential date.  

Lauren Price was honoured as the Female Boxer of the Year at the British Boxing Awards on Friday afternoon.

The 30-year-old Welsh star has had a remarkable journey, transitioning from a successful football career—earning 52 caps for Wales—to achieving boxing glory.

Most recently, on March 7, 2025, Price unified the WBA, WBC, and IBF welterweight titles with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Natasha Jonas at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Frank Bruno received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his immense contributions to boxing and his enduring legacy as a British icon.
