The president of the World Boxing Association (WBA), Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, announced that the winner of the fight between Saul Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol will get a special belt due to the importance and significance of this Saturday’s bout.
The belt, which has a different design and has the inscription of the names and faces of both fighters, will arrive this Friday in Las Vegas. The belt also features a small engraving commemorating the 100th anniversary of the pioneer organization.
The WBA is the world’s longest-standing organization, born in 1921. It reached a century of existence last year.
