Former British lightweight champion Bobby Vanzie has had his Lonsdale Belt stolen. Vanzie returned to his Bradford home on Monday night, after training, to discover he had been robbed.
His manager Jack Doughty said: "The belt is the best a boxer can win. It is better than those for world title fights, gold plated with a portrait of Lord Lonsdale in the middle."
This is the fourth such incident in the space of a couple of months. First a WBF belt was swiped from a shop in Teignmouth, then Scott Harrison discovered his WBO featherweight belt had been taken from his home in Cambuslang, Glasgow - and last weekend a pair of boxing shorts signed by Muhammad Ali were swiped from a Southampton art gallery, along with pics showing Ali signing the shorts.
This is the same man!
This is getting serious!
