A belt presented to Evander Holyfield by the World Boxing Association (WBA) for being named the 1993 WBA Comeback Boxer of the Year. Holyfield won the award for his defeat of Alex Stewart on June 26, 1993, and mainly for his defeat of Riddick Bowe on November 4, 1993, resulting in his recapturing of the WBA (and IBF) Heavyweight Title. The belt is lined with gold, red, white and blue acetate satin underneath 3 brass sculptures. The center sculpture features an eagle perched on top of a middle portion which features a WBA enamel badge affixed to it. The badge reads "COMEBACK AWARD" and "WORLD BOXING ASSOCIATION" with a WBA logo in the center. The center brass sculpture is circled by red and white faux gemstones, with red faux gemstones also lining the wings of the eagle. One of the smaller brass sculptures houses a black and white image of Holyfield, with the other housing an engraved mirrored brass plaque that reads "PRESENTED/ TO/ EVANDER/ HOLYFIELD. The back of the belt features a double buckle closure and two enamel sculptures, with one displaying a Spanish WBA badge that reads "ASSOCIATION MUNDIAL DE BOXEO," and the other displaying the word "SUPER" with WBA logos on either side. The belt is housed in a wood and glass display case with brass details. Categories: Evander Holyfield
