The World Boxing Council Diamond Belt is a cluster of light Masterpiece, reserved and awarded for only the Greatest of the Great….Superstars who have transcended to Megastars.
This diadem of gems adapted to be worn around the middle, is presented to Champions of Champions. Emperors of The Noble Art, who via their hands have accomplished the most amazing and memorable feats.
Befitting its great importance and grand significance, it was first created and presented to the fight between 2 Superstars Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. It was in November 2009 and Manny won his sixth World Title in five different divisions via 12 round TKO of Miguel Cotto at welterweight.
The value of a WBC Diamond Belt is far exceeds monetary value. It is indeed priceless. Like Diamonds, its significance is everlastingly eternal. Those few who have conquered this milestone, like Atlas, carry the weight of the World on their shoulders, thanks to their fists.
Those who have won Boxing`s most rarefied Accolade include: Floyd Mayweather Jr, Saul Canelo Alvarez, Bernard Hopkins, Tyson Fury, Sergio Martinez, Nonito Donaire and most recently Naoya Inoue.
”The Monster`s” resounding victory over Luis ”Pantera” Nery, epitomizes and underlines what the Diamond Belt symbolizes but also embodies. Knocked down for the first time in his professional career, Inoue resolved to get up and then inflicted three knockdowns of his own, to successfully and spectacularly defend his Undisputed super bantamweight belt. His Finest Hour! He`s already won world championships in four weight divisions and is Undisputed in two.
Following his sixth round victory in front of 55,000 jubilant fans in the Tokyo Dome, he was adorned with four World Belts, almost engulfing his slender frame. But the most special, magical moment came, when he held aloft…The WBC Diamond Belt. The glorious culmination of all he has strived for, accomplished and accumulated so gloriously.
A Boxing career is all too brief, as time via the clock is a thief. But when all is said and done and we are old and gray with rheumy eyes, that belt is a priceless memento, winking out of the trophy cabinet.
In the darkest hour of night prior to a new dawn… it always illuminates. The Green and Gold with the Touch of Diamonds.
