- A familiar face at ringsides all over the world, George Kimball has covered 360-plus world title fights in a four-decade sportswriting career. He was the 1986 recipient of the Nat Fleischer Award for Excellence in Boxing Journalism from the Boxing Writers Association of America, and spent a quarter-century as a sports columnist for the Boston Herald before retiring in 2005. Kimball has covered boxing since the eras of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, and was the only journalist to cover every fight of Marvelous Marvin Hagler's middleweight reign from start to finish. For the past twelve years he has written the weekly 'America at Large' column for Dublin's Irish Times, and is also presently a Senior Writer for the website Boxingtalk.com. Kimball has received numerous awards for his Boxing, Golf, Baseball, and Olympic Games coverage, and also covered the New England Patriots and the NFL from 1970-2005. He has two children, Darcy (24, of Denver, Colorado) and Teddy (20, of Brooklyn, NY). When he and his wife, Dr. Marge Marash Kimball, were married in 2004, the ceremony was performed by the Reverend George Foreman. The couple lives on the Upper West Side in New York, three subway stops from the front door of Madison Square Garden.
