Lonsdale Belt
|
|
Trophy awarded to a boxer winning any British title bout, at any weight. The first was presented by the 5th earl of Lonsdale in 1909. Any boxer winning three title bouts within the same division retains the belt. Several have kept two belts, but only Henry Cooper has taken home three.
