Boxing belts and trophies
Championship belts, trophies and medals: choosing the right award for your show
The essentials: 32 pieces, from €19 to €1,299, in three families: full-size belts at 127 cm / 50 in, trophies and statues from 11 to 53.5 cm / 4.3 to 21 in, and podium medals. Three things decide: viewing distance, whether you need an engraving area, and how many awards go out on the same night. Free shipping across the collection.
🏆 The table that answers the most asked question
"What size trophy for a presentation night?" It comes down to the distance the piece has to read from.
| Size | Pieces | What it allows | Who for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 15 cm / 6 in | Medals, Ringside glove | Handed over and taken home | Full podium, individual gift |
| 20–23 cm / 8–9 in | Boxer statues, glove on a base | Reads across a club room | Several categories in one tournament |
| 29–40 cm / 11–16 in | Engravable glove trophies, star glove | Reads from the back of a hall | Main title, prize table centrepiece |
| 127 cm / 50 in laid out | Championship belts | Sits on a shoulder, makes the photo | Main event, show night, tribute |
| Over 50 cm / 20 in | Busts and sculptures | Console or entrance piece | Gym display, statement gift |
🥇 The belts: seventeen models, four families
All share the same build — 127 cm / 50 in laid out, about 2.7 kg / 6 lb, real 3 mm leather and metal plates — and differ by emblem and leather colour.
On the boxing side, the WBC is the only one with four portrait medallions, replaceable with your own photos; the WBA, descended from 1921, ships with two blank ovals to engrave; the WBO adds a fleece lining for a belt that is actually worn; the IBF comes in a presentation case; the IBO adjusts continuously on hook-and-loop. Two event pieces complete the family: the WBC Union belt from the Wembley fight and The Ring belt, whose plate is engraved with the champion's name.
On the wrestling and MMA side, the WWE Undisputed and its red, blue and white versions cover the major titles; the Gold Edition is dated to WrestleMania 41 and the United States carries the American flag. For the octagon, the UFC belt takes up the eight-stone design, and the all-silver BMF points back to one single night.
🎨 Engraving and personalisation
This is what separates a display piece from an award. Three routes exist in the collection.
| Route | Pieces | What is personalised |
|---|---|---|
| Photos on medallions | WBC belt | Four faces, artwork approved before production |
| Engraving on a blank plate | WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO, 29 cm glove trophy, 65 mm medal | Three short lines: name, category, date |
| Engraved central text | The Ring belt | The champion's name replaces the body's letters |
| Full commission | Custom belts | Your logo, your wording, 2 or 4 mm plates |
On the made-to-order belt, the decision you cannot undo is plate thickness: 2 mm for flat, crisp lettering, 4 mm for relief that carries several metres.
🥊 Trophies, statues and medals
The 29 cm / 11.4 in glove trophy is the only one with a fitted blank plate on its base: the model to pick as soon as a name has to be engraved. The 40 cm / 15.7 in star glove holds the centre of a prize table, the 23 cm / 9 in glove on a base separates four categories by colour, and the two-glove trophy rewards a pair or a club.
Among the figures, the boxer statue comes in four attitudes — including the winner's raised arm — the silver and gold headgear boxer and the 28.5 cm / 11.2 in statue cover club formats, and the taekwondo statue or the Bruce Lee statue do the job for kicking sections. The 65 mm / 2.6 in medal settles full podiums, with a 42 mm / 1.7 in engraving panel on the back.
Three pieces sit outside the award bracket: the Mike Tyson bust and the gold-gloved sculpture, both 53.5 cm / 21 in console pieces, and the boxed Rocky Balboa statue, also available as a figure to paint.
📐 Building a coherent presentation night
A well-equipped evening runs on three levels: a belt or a tall piece for the main event, trophies of 20 to 29 cm / 8 to 11 in for the categories, and medals for the podiums. Gesture and colour set the ranking with no text at all: raised arm for the champion, guard for the finalists, gold, silver and bronze for the rest.
For engraving, add the engraver's turnaround on top of delivery, and keep to three short lines — name, category, date — which stay legible at 2 m / 6 ft.
Frequently asked questions
What size trophy should I choose for a presentation?
Up to 15 cm / 6 in, a trophy is handed over and taken home. Around 23 cm / 9 in it reads across a club room. From 29 cm / 11 in it stays legible from the back of a hall and holds the centre of the prize table.
Which belts can be personalised?
All of them, to different degrees: photos on the WBC's four medallions, engraving on the blank plates of the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO, an engraved central name on The Ring belt, and a full commission on the made-to-order model.
How big is a real championship belt?
127 cm / 50 in laid out and about 2.7 kg / 6 lb across every model in this collection, the size of the belts handed over in the ring.
What is the difference between the WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO?
Five separate organisations, each with its emblem and leather colour: flags on green for the WBC, a crown on navy for the WBA, an eagle on burgundy for the WBO, twin globes on red for the IBF, red gloves on dark green for the IBO.
How many medals should a tournament order?
Three per category as a minimum, often four in amateur boxing where both losing semi-finalists are placed joint third.
