In Saturday’s KO win, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury showed great power and boxing skills honed by his trainer Sugar Hill Steward. After the fight, Sugar Hill received the WBC Trainers Belt inspired by the traditional towel used by all trainers.
Sugar Hill is the nephew of legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, head of Detroit’s iconic Kronk Gym, where dozens of champions have been trained. Sugar Hill and Fury first met at the Kronk in 2010. He reconnected with Fury 2019 and trained him to win the WBC title against Deontay Wilder in February 2020, repeating the feat in October 2021, and then for Saturday’s stellar performance against Dillian Whyte.
Sugar Hill had previously worked as a chef and a police officer, before following in his uncle’s footsteps via boxing training full-time. With Fury, he has really bonded and they have made a very successful team.
Guess they have to give it to someone.
Funny!!!!!!
Looking for the word “given” in the article. Very curious on if Sugar had to pay for this “award”.
Does Sugar Hill train any other fighters, or is Tyson Fury the only one?
He trains Nico Ali Walsh too.
Not sure if anyone else other than that.
He did some great work with adonis stevenson, transforming him as a fighter.
He sugar hill, should be considered the best boxing trainer, in the sport, barring none, I am , and I must admit, partial to him being the nephew of the legendary trainer, Emanuel.
It’s great to see Sugar Hill get some overdue recognition. He and Tyson Fury make a great team. Some people might even say, they are an unbeatable team and who am I to argue with them.
