In anticipation of the highly awaited clash between boxing titans Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, the World Boxing Council (WBC) has introduced a striking new belt designed specifically for the occasion.

The bespoke belt, adorned with the colors of both Britain and Ukraine, serves not as an additional championship title but rather as a symbolic gesture. Featuring iconic images of boxing legends like Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, the belt has garnered attention not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its ceremonial significance.

Remarkably, the belt has made its way to unexpected realms, including the Vatican, where it was signed by Pope Francis himself. Mauricio Sulaiman, President of the WBC, shared insights into the encounter with the Pontiff, highlighting discussions around the parallels between boxing and values.
