Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague was among the winners at the Cross Sports Book Awards.
Balague picked up the Barclays Football Book of the Year for his biography of Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo at the star-studded event at Lord's cricket ground.
Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey was also a winner once again as she landed the Cross International Autobiography of the Year with her book My Fight. Your Fight.
A.T. Cross chief executive Robert Baird, who helped judge the award, said: "Rousey was the unanimous victor. Her narrative is as turbulent as [Rousey's] life. It felt like being hit by one of her deadly left hooks."
Former FIA president Max Mosley claimed the Cross Autobiography of the Year award thanks to his book Formula One and Beyond.
Mosley saw off competition from five other nominees, including Nigel Mansell, Steve Davis, Steven Gerrard, Sir Anthony McCoy and Sky Sports' cricket commentator David Lloyd.
The Times Biography of the Year prize went to Andy Bull's Speed Kings, the story of four men's search for Winter Olympic Gold in 1932, while Scottish cyclist David Millar collected the Cycling Book of the Year award.
The Littlehampton Book Services Cricket Book of the Year went to Tim Lane and Eliot Cartledge for Chasing Shadows: The Life and Death of Peter Roebuck and Tom English won Rugby Book of the Year for No Borders: Playing Rugby for Ireland.
