    :rofl Gotta love boxing's theatricality outside of the ring at times. I never knew he literally chucked it. Learn something new every day. Cheers:good.

    Can't find any photos or videos but I remember Bowe in a small room dangling the belt half in the trashcan waiting for the photos to be taken.

    Must be some somewhere.

    Did the guy buy a replica and got Joe to sign it or was it Joe's belt he won?

    :roflCheers, fellas:thumbsup. Love how that bin was:
    1-In a garden (not a tip or a dustbin lorry)
    2-Clean with a new black bag inside
    &
    3-Filmed infront of a bunch of journos.

    :lol: I never knew he actually literally threw it. Completely staged, though. Probably now in a dusty loft or under his pillow out of the sight of anyone.

    I agree with Gaz. I'd like the Lonsdale Belt first and foremost if I were collecting belts. Not sure you can actually buy them from the BBBofC, though- you'd probably have to get one in an auction or something like that:think. Then I wouuld buy the WBC title as teessider says:deal.

    Why stop there if you're a millionaire, though? Why not join the undisputed club and buy the WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring titles? You could also buy the English and the Euro belts as well.

    It has a timeless, classic look to it that that recent world title belts don't IMHO.
