Championship belt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Large belt used to signify a champion
A championship belt is a large, extravagantly designed belt used primarily in combat sports as an award, similarly to trophies in other sports. There are several companies in the business of constructing championship belts.
The first belt given as a prize for accomplishments within the ring was presented in 1810 by King George III to bare-knuckle boxer Tom Cribb, after he defeated Tom Molineaux, an American who was possibly a former slave.[1] Championship belts are used as awards in multiple combat sports, including professional boxing,[2] [3] [4] professional wrestling,[5] and mixed martial arts,[6] as well as non-combat sports such as golf [7] and esports.[8]
