Boxer Beats Cancer To Win 2024 Comeback Of The Year

Boxer Beats Cancer To Win 2024 Comeback Of The Year

This boxer is something out of Danny ‘The Miracle Man’ Jacobs’ books, certainly cut from the same cloth. What a story and what a win.

It was a very good year for boxing but this year and years ahead will be hundreds of times bigger, and then some.

As for 2024 Billy Dib scooped the Comeback of the Year award at the Ring Magazine awards this weekend.

His speech here was quite brilliant.

He survived and beat cancer to comeback to professional boxing.

Not only that, he then won three times in 2024 as well as capturing the IBF international lightweight title and the WBO Oriental lightweight title.

What a run for the 39-year-old Australian — that is not over yet either.
