Boxing News Readers’ Awards: Male Amateur Boxing of the Year Number 6

THE New Zealand light-heavyweight David Nyika really caught the eye at Glasgow 2014.

Difficult to reach, artful, it’ll be interesting to see whether he can carry that form into 2015 and how effective it will be against the top internationals at 81kgs.
