President of the WBC, Mauricio Sulaiman, officially presented the belt that will be at stake in the battle between the unified WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO titleholder, Oleksandr Usyk, and WBC champion Tyson Fury.

Sulaiman unveiled the special World Boxing Council belt during a press conference dedicated to the upcoming fight between Russians Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, scheduled for June 1st.

It should be noted that the belt is decorated in the colours of the national flags of Great Britain and Ukraine.

The showdown for the undisputed heavyweight championship between Fury and Usyk will be the main event on May 18th. Earlier, the organizers announced the full undercard lineup for the boxing evening in Riyadh.

It's worth noting that the Ukrainian boxer, Usyk, is diligently preparing for the fight against the "Gypsy King." Usyk shared a video from his training camp, showcasing impressive form.

Earlier, Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, had criticised Usyk, calling him a "crybaby".
