Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is set to be crowned WBN Fighter of the Year 2019 after smashing the voting to pieces over the past nine days. Pacquiao, who enjoyed a stellar year with victories over Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman, was initially in fourth place after two weeks of voting.
Firstly, beginning on December 10, eight boxers were initially shortlisted for the award. However, Josh Taylor and Canelo Alvarez went blow-for-blow at the top. Taylor was then removed after admitted a charge of racial abuse in a UK court of law. Naoya Inoue then possessed the only challenge to Canelo. Just before Christmas, Filipino fans began to get wind of the poll and that was all she wrote. Firmly getting behind their man, Pacquiao sailed into an unassailable lead with a few days.
