==''Man of Triumph'' belts== Since 2015, the WBA awards a customized version of their WBA Super champion belt to big fights involving a WBA championship. The WBA called this the ''Man of Triumph'' belt, named after the trophy awarded to the winner of the [[Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao|Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight]]. The plate of the belt has the images of the two boxers fighting. Floyd Mayweather Jr. received the first gold-plated version of the belt while Manny Pacquiao was awarded a one-time rhodium-plated version.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wbaboxing.com/boxing-news/wba-the-man-of-triumph-trophy|title=WBA "Man of Triumph" Trophy|website=Wbaboxing.com|date=April 30, 2015 }}</ref> Other recipients of the custom gold-plated belt are Anthony Joshua,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wbaboxing.com/boxing-news/wba-special-belt-for-the-klitschko-joshua|title=WBA special belt for the Klitschko-Joshua|website=Wbaboxing.com|date=April 26, 2017 }}</ref> [[Vasyl Lomachenko]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wbaboxing.com/boxing-news/lomachenko-and-linares-special-super-belt-made|title=Lomachenko and Linares Special Super Belt Made|website=Wbaboxing.com|date=May 10, 2018 }}</ref> Manny Pacquiao,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wbaboxing.com/boxing-news/paccquiao-and-matthysse-special-super-belt-made|title=Paccquiao and Matthysse Special Super Belt Made|website=Wbaboxing.com|date=July 13, 2018 }}</ref> [[Oleksandr Usyk]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wbaboxing.com/boxing-news/gilberto-jesus-mendoza-culminates-a-successful-tour-of-europe|title=Gilberto Jesus Mendoza will travel to Russia|website=Wbaboxing.com|date=July 18, 2018 }}</ref> [[Canelo Álvarez]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://fightnews.com/special-wba-belt-ggg-canelo-winner/4819|title=Boxing News: Special WBA belt for GGG-Canelo winner » December 4, 2019|website=Fightnews.com|date=September 14, 2017}}</ref> and [[Callum Smith]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wbaboxing.com/boxing-news/the-wba-will-make-history-in-saudi-arabia|title=The WBA will make history in Saudi Arabia|website=Wbaboxing.com|date=September 27, 2018 }}</ref>
