Herbert Randolph Sugar (June 7, 1936 – March 25, 2012)[1] was an American boxing writer and sports historian known for his trademark fedora and unlit cigar.

His entry in the high school yearbook for that year predicted he "will become a radio announcer or sports writer".

Sugar appeared in several films playing himself, including Night and the City (1992), The Great White Hype, and Rocky Balboa.

Interviews with Sugar feature in the documentary Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson.

Sugar died as a result of lung cancer on March 25, 2012, at age 75, with his family at his bedside at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, New York.
