Tamaulipas Belt 2: The Trophy for Canelo VS Berlanga!

The Green and Gold Belt is the zenith emblem of the World Boxing Council and the highest recognition for those who step into the ring, seeking glory.
In addition, the WBC has created a series of special and unique belts in order to reward and recognize the fights that have transcended excellence in the history of boxing, a special iconic trophy that Mexico and boxing gives to the fighters who face each other on the two most representative dates for Mexico, May 5 (Battle of Puebla) and September 16 (Independence Day).
The WBC has worked hand in hand with several entities highlighting their cultures through Mexican artisans who have transformed the WBC belt into true pieces of art, each one representing the best of their culture.
To recognize the most important fight of September, the WBC presents the “TAMAULIPAS II” belt
The Belt includes as its main element the Tamaulipas leather, a fundamental symbol in the culture and identity of the region. The elaboration, manufacture and assembly was carried out by Artesanias REYZA; unique and original personalized work.
The belt includes a 24-carat gold plate, polished, painted and hand-cut. The plate was designed by Imperio de Metal and it draws a heart, and represents what it takes to be a world champion: courage, dedication, passion and a big heart.
The Tamaulipas II Belt will be awarded to the winner of the fight between the World Boxing Council super-middleweight champion, Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez against the Puerto Rican, Edgar Berlanga, on September 14.
This fight is extremely special for several reasons, including the fact that #CaneloBerlanga adds a new chapter to the Puerto Rico vs. Mexico boxing rivalry, in addition to the fact that the fight will be held in one of the most important boxing venues: The T-Mobile Arena of Las Vegas in September.
Saul “Canelo” Álvarez debuted in 2005 and has developed a career full of success and triumphs. During his brilliant career he has conquered the super welterweight, middleweight, super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions.
Canelo conquered the WBC 168-pound crown by defeating Callum Smith by UD on December 19, 2020, and has remained on the throne since then. Against Berlanga, he will make his eighth title defense.
Edgar Berlanga, 27, will have the opportunity of a lifetime to challenge Canelo for his world titles. Edgar was born on May 18, 1997 and since he was 7 years old, he began to forge his love for boxing. Currently, Berlanga has a record of 22-0 with 17 victories by knockout.
