🏆 Boxing prodigy Ruby White crowned winner of SportsAid’s One-to-Watch Award 2024 🏆
@NickHopeTV 🎥
Boxing superstar Ruby White hailed a 'crazy' feeling after concluding a memorable year by winning SportsAid’s illustrious One-to-Watch Award. The 18-year-old, from Sturminster Newton in Dorset, received the annual Award having completed her European three-peat in April before being crowned -48kg world champion at the inaugural U19 World Boxing Championships in Colorado.
The One-to-Watch Award, supported by Aldi, the charity’s Official Supermarket Partner, recognises Britain’s brightest young sporting prospects and has been running since 2006 with previous victors including Olympic champions Tom Daley and Alex Yee and Paralympic gold medallist Hollie Arnold.
Ruby has been selected as the winner from around 1,000 rising stars, supported by SportsAid, across more than 60 different sports in 2024. She edged out 400m runner Sam Reardon, 21, and basketball player Irene Oboavwoduo, 16, as they finished in second and third positions respectively. Ruby now firmly believes the accolade will help her follow in the footsteps of her esteemed predecessors.
"It's crazy….when I got presented with the Award I was a bit lost for words and in shock," said Ruby. "It's given me a lot more confidence to push that little bit more and prove to people that this Award is meant for me. The Commonwealth Games is in 2026 so that’s when I turn 19 so hopefully I’ll be able to win that. And then after that, in 2028, the Olympics in LA, win the gold medal and turn over pro.
"I’m going to win everything at one weight. And then I’m going to win everything at another weight and be undisputed champion of the world. It’s going to happen. I’m telling you. I want people to know my name now so that when I have all of those achievements, people can look back and see that SportsAid got it right with the One-to-Watch Award. I've read a lot about who has won it before so it's crazy for my name to now be up there with them. I want to be that inspirational name for others."
