Boxing Writer Bert Sugar Dies at 75 Mar 25th 2012, 23:37 Iconic boxing writer Bert Sugar, rarely seen without his trademark fedora and cigar, died of cardiac arrest earlier today in New York at the age of 75. Sugar wrote over 80 books, primarily on boxing history, and was the editor of several boxing magazines, including The Ring, Boxing Illustrated and Bert Sugar's Fight Game. He also appeared in a number of boxing movies, such as Rocky Balboa, Night and the City, and The Great White Hype. One of the sport's greatest - and most opinionated - historians, it's difficult to find a boxing documentary in which Sugar is not interviewed. Sugar was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in January 2005. A truly Runyonesque character, Sugar was a link to the glory days of boxing. He will be missed.
