This week, the World Boxing Council (WBC) unveiled its newest award in the Crown Series at its traditional "Coffee Tuesdays": a chain and pendant commemorating the 2026 WBC "Main Event" World Championship. This award will be presented to champions who triumph in the most high-profile fights worldwide.
The pendant and glove are paired with a matching glove, both featuring the WBC's traditional green and gold colors. The pendant is crafted in white gold and adorned with approximately 18.9 carats of emeralds and diamonds, comprising over 800 stones. At the top is a diamond crown, a symbol of authority and the highest level of professional boxing, along with the official WBC logo. The entire piece is suspended from a 22-inch, seven-millimeter-thick chain with an estimated value of $40,000.
The Crown Series was designed by Rasheem Farlow but was presented and developed by WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán as a new way to maintain and promote the legacy of WBC champions.
Starting in 2026, it will be awarded exclusively to world champions participating in major bouts and will not be available for general sale.
The pieces will be manufactured by the official jewelry partners of the 2026 Crown Series: Iced Out By K LLC, Devon Milan, and HOUSEOFARTGRFX.
