Does anybody know how the belts are exchanged?

a new champ recieves his belt later.the wbc have some other weird rules
Chuck Williams (the WBC on-site supervisor for the fight) entered. Williams is a genial man who takes his responsibilities to the WBC and WBC president Jose Sulaiman seriously.

“Who’s carrying the belt into the ring?” Williams asked.

Cecilio Flores identified the belt carriers for both the WBC and Ring Magazine belts.

“The WBC requests that you only bring the WBC belt into the ring,” Williams told him. “Jose Sulaiman will be watching in Mexico. I hope you won’t make him unhappy.”

The request did not sit well with Team Maravilla. Undaunted, Williams pressed on.

“After the fight, I’ll give the winner a WBC T-shirt that I want him to put on in the ring before the post-fight television interview. I’ll also place the WBC belt over the winner’s shoulder and across his chest so it’s fully visible for the camera. Then I’ll come back to the dressing room and collect the handwraps, which will be sent to WBC headquarters in Mexico.”

Sulaiman maintains that the transfer of handwraps after a championship fight is necessary to ensure that they haven’t been illegally tampered with prior to the bout. Critics note that this procedure destroys the chain of custody that would be essential to any court or governmental administrative proceeding.

Jermaine Taylor borrowed Leavander Johnsons (rip) belt for a celebration in Arkansas after he beat Hopkins.

my take is you can keep the belt. i remembered in the movie raging bull that he sold his belt.

 

The Lonsdale belt isnt the Commonwealth Title, fighters that hold a British title receive a Lonsdale belt. If they defend their British title twice they keep the Lonsdale belt. [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonsdale_Belt[/ame]
