A World Boxing Federation (WBF) Heavyweight World Champion belt won by Evander Holyfield when he defeated Francois Botha on April 10, 2010 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, NV. The WBF Heavyweight Title was vacant at the time when Holyfield and Botha fought to determine the new champion. The blue faux leather belt is adorned with a large brass sculpture in the center, with simulated gemstones running underneath an enamel badge that reads "WBF/ World Boxing Federation" with a second enamel badge underneath that reads "WORLD CHAMPION." The sculpture features a crown on top, with simulated gemstones, sitting on top of a pair of wings. The sculpture is flanked by two brass mirrored sculpted pieces. The inside of the belt is lined with grey faux fur and attaches on the back with velcro. In winning the belt, Holyfield became the only boxer in history to win a share of the heavyweight championship five times. Categories: Evander Holyfield
