Yeh, I noticed that.. Might just be a prop, commemorative belt? God knows.

It's definately a WBA title

Maybe. Then it's pretty weird that the commemorative belt looks exactly same as the WBA Super belt. But it's WBA so i don't expect any kind of logic from them.

They make a special belt for high-profile fights which has both boxers' faces on the side plates. Just a commemorative belt rather than any additional title.

Okay thanks. A bit surprising because there was no such a belt in Usyk vs Gassiev fight.

Wouldn't be able to answer that. Maybe because this was a defence rather than unification as it was with usky/gassiev? I also recall Usyk being photo'd with his collection and it had two of the same belt but can't remember if it was WBA (i also may be misremembering).

The WBA have so many belts they probably just gave him a spare one by mistake. The fvcking idiots.

Yes, the WBA made one for AJ after he defeated Parker.
That probably explains the 'extra' WBA belt.
