Apart from Amsterdam, Terrence Poole MS (Best Coach) and Jermain Craig (Best Referee/Judge) are also among the awardees.

“This is a humble and custody attempt, a storied tradition by the association to reward the individuals, athletes and officials to be specific, who have performed remarkably and beyond the call of duty in the prior year. While the marquee presentations will include the Best Boxer, the Best Coach and the Best Official awards, several other notable accolades will also be presented at the gala,” said Ninvalle.
