Alexander Frank (Germany)

Title: UBO World Heavyweight Champion.

Record: 18-0-1 (15).

Last year he was very close to getting this award, instead receiving New Champion of the Year honors, but this year its a lock for UBO World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Frank who is the 2019 UBO Boxer of the Year!

Undefeated Frank (33), made his second title-defense in June, stopping Timo Froehlich in the first round, and then retained it for a third time in November when Ukraine's Roman Golovashchenko was beaten in five rounds of a rematch.

Former World title-challenger Sefer Seferi, based in Switzerland but Albanian-born, is the 2019 UBO New Champion of the Year, having won the Inter-Continental Cruiserweight title on November 30 in his adopted home-town of Burgdorf.

With thousands of enthusiastic fans supporting him, Seferi stopped late substitute Laszlo Ivanyi from Hungary in the fifth round. 

Matheus da Silva (Brazil)

Title: UBO International Light Heavyweight Champion.

Record: 5-0 (3).

He had barely turned twenty years old when he won the UBO International Light Heavyweight title this past November in only his fifth professional fight. Matheus da Silva is the clear-cut 2019 UBO Prospect of the Year!

In Sao Paolo, Brazil, da Silva (5-0, 3 KOs) scored a wide unanimous decision over compatriot Bruno Cesar de Paula, showing maturity beyond his years and experience over the ten round distance.

Prince Patel KO4 Ronald Ramos

Title: UBO World Bantamweight Championship.

Date / Place: January 13, Budapest, Hungary.

Controversial and talented British Southpaw Prince Patel (22-1-1, 17 KOs) captured the UBO World Bantamweight title in January, when he knocked out Ronald Ramos in the fourth round of their fight in Budapest, Hungary.

Patel dispatched of the normally teak-tough Colombian with a sickening body-shot, which earns him recognition of having scored the 2019 UBO Knockout of the Year!

Karel Horejsek (Czech Republic)

Title: UBO Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion.

Record: 16-12-0-3 (13).

Fourteen fights into his career, Karel Horejsek had a less than stellar 5-7-2 professional record. Today he is the newly crowned UBO Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion, and 2019 UBO Comeback Boxer of the Year!

In what can be called the second part of his career, Horejsek has gone 11-5-1 for a total record of 16-12-3 (13), and most of his losses have been against very good opponents, including competitive decisions to Rocky Fielding and Sven Fornling who both went on to win world championships.

Pelk Boxing (Germany)

German promotional and management outfit Pelk Boxing is the 2019 UBO Promoter of the Year!

During the year, the company guided udefeated Dominik Kosel to first winning the UBO Inter-Continental Super Middleweight title, and later take the next step by capturing the UBO World Super Middleweight crown.

Headed by true boxing-man Peter Pelk, and with his son, former Welterweight contender Matthias Pelk, on board as trainer, Pelk Boxing is a close-knit, hands-on unit, working seriously and passionately for their boxers.

Real Steel, March 2, St. Julians, Malta

Supreme Boxing Promotions.

Intercontinental Hotel.

When a promoter stages three championship fights on one card, it automatically becomes something of a special event.

So Supreme Boxing Promotions putting on three UBO Inter-Continental title fights on March 2 at the extremely appropriately named Intercontinental Hotel in St. Julians, Malta, is a natural 2019 UBO Event of the Year!

Christian Schembri won the Inter-Continental title at Middleweight, Kerstin Brown took home the Inter-Continental Featherweight crown, and Clare Ciantar captured the Female Inter-Continental Super Featherweight title.

Dominik Kosel (Germany)

Title: UBO World Super Middleweight Champion.

Record: 10-0 (6).

Dominik Kosel (27) from Bad Muskau in Germany had a great 2019. He only had two fights, but both were very successful and very significant for his career.

In May he stopped experienced Ukrainian Valentyn Kuts to win the UBO Inter-Continental Super Middleweight title, and in November he went to the next level as he saw off Ismat Eynullayev from Azerbaijan to become UBO World Super Middleweight Champion.

Capturing both Inter-Continental and World titles in less than six months earns Kosel the 2019 UBO Accomplishment of the Year award.

Cedric Bellais (France / Tahiti)

Being a professional boxer is not an easy task! Being a professional boxing promoter is not an easy task either! Being both at the same time, and not just promoter in name but knots-and-bolts-involved, seems almost impossible, if you want to be half-way decent at both.

Cedric Bellais is more than half-way decent, as he in 2019 again put on two promotions with himself winning world title fights in the headliners.

In July he won the vacant UBO World Cruiserweight title (since relinquished), and in November he retained his UBO World Light Heavyweight crown.
