Introducing the stunning Union Belt
The World Boxing Council proudly unveils their brand-new Union Belt, created with a UK-theme, solely for the winner of Fury vs Whyte.
This unique belt will be presented as a special trophy to the winner of the highly anticipated fight between WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury and WBC interim Heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte.
The Union belt extols special elements to celebrate and commemorate the United Kingdom through boxing, with distinctive English roses included in the design.
The WBC are known for their special custom-made commemorative belts to mark special occasions and memorable events, such as the Mestizo Belt that Canelo won when he defeated Billy Joe Saunders in 2021. Fury already owns one such trophy – the WBC Mayan Belt – which was awarded to the 'Gypsy King' when he defeated Otto Wallin in 2019.
Frank Warren won the purse bids to stage Fury-Whyte with an offer of $41million, which trumped Matchroom Boxing's attempt at $32million. Previously, Bob Arum (Fury's US promoter) had earmarked the Principality Stadium in Cardiff for March 26, with heavyweight rivals Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk set to fight a few weeks later in April.However, with no fight date yet announced, it's likely to to be pushed back further into April, with rumours ciculating of Saturday 23rd at Wembley Stadium.
