The WBC created the unique commemorative belts in 2017 as a way to present a gift from Mexico and boxing to the world by showcasing the beauty and ancient traditions of so many cultures of Mexico.

The creators of the UFC belt from the workshop of Jacobo and María Ángeles designed and produced the 2022 edition of the WBC belt from the state of Oaxaca, featuring the September 17 beauty called “Zapotec Jaguar Warrior” who was awarded to Canelo Álvarez after defeating to GGG in his third fight.

Sport is the greatest way to build bridges of unity and reciprocity, once again congratulations to the UFC and its president Dana White.
