Eminent boxing writer Bert Sugar expired this Sunday – Boxing News
Highly famous and well-known boxing writer Bert Sugar expired yesterday, Sunday, due to cardiac arrest at the age of 75. Bert, who served the industry throughout his lifetime, was a distinctive personality with the ability to add that much required crisp and personality to his writings. A writer who always had his signature hat on and his cigar with him, Bert Sugar will definitely be remembered for years for his services.
Bert’s widow Suzanne revealed that Bert’s daughter Jennifer Frawley was by his side when the legendary writer was taking his last breath at the Northern Westchester Hospital. She also revealed that Sugar was fighting lung cancer for nearly a decade.
Bert Sugar was inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005 for writing more than 80 books. His top-seller to date has been “The 100 Greatest Boxers Of All Time”. When his daughter Frawley was asked about her father’s legacy, she iterated, “Just his intelligence and his wit and his sense of humor. He was always worried about people. He was always helping people. He was really a brilliant man.”
During his writing career, Bert also got the honour of working in a couple of movies, among which his most notable performance was in ‘The Great White Hype’ alongside Samuel Jackson.
President of the Boxing Writers Association of America, Jack Hirsch remembered Bert by saying, “Around ringside, it's not going to be the same with Bert not there. Bert was obviously a showman in the way he did things outwardly, very flamboyant, but in quiet moments I found him to be an extremely modest individual.”
Bert’s death has shocked the association and boxing writers all around the world. His contributions and achievements have shaped the industry and paved the way for emerging writers. He was a known figure and had the courage to write his heart out, even though at times he faced harsh criticism. However, he always went on with the spirit he had and made a sparkling career out of his potential. His legacy will live on forever, especially for aspiring boxing writers who want to be just like him.
