I'll be honest, I can really understand selling if your double skint. For.one reason or the other , at times you need a pound note or two. It is a shame though that a belt I would cut me nuts off for would sell for that. I'm a real miserable $&$/ and the fact I'm now a name. Keeps me going. If I won that belt but had to cash in, I'd feel I'd sold my sole.

You can't really expect the board to financially support every fighter that spends he's dough & needs a few quid . Unless your lucky or have a good head , most of us will cone to a time when your on the floor & can't see an out. I live my life getting by. I've done ok in life but its easy to blame when you act a cock & don't look to the future. No one is owed a favour , make your luck or fornicate off. Bore me later

5k so far I thought it would only be worth around 3k max.
Just shows you.
Jimmy Vincent should have one also to sell.

Is it real ? The seller has sold a few other Boxing/UFC belts recently. Where would you source these ? Could have a side-line in snides.

Cant remember alba was with the missus for her birthday last year (I'm from ayrshire so not massively familiar with auld reekie).Alba wrote:what pub mate?sgtcecil wrote:A pub on rose st in edinburgh has a lonsdale framed and mounted in the wall belonging to Brian Curvis (welter champ).

Was mounted up in the wall and I'm sure it had a plaque with some info on Curvis.

I know the ref Mickey Vann bought Tom collins Belt and had it up on the wall on his ringside cafe in Leeds.

Maybe Jeff Thomas can shed some light on this. The lad who is selling it is a bodybuilder and a friend of Jeff's.
My thinking is that this belt was never fought for but bought at auction or from the manufactuers. Ricky Hatton bought one direct as he never won one outright.
Randy Turpins went for £25k but his was solid gold and porceline. The new ones are gold plated and enamel.

Your right the same belt now just in scrap value would be more then Double that Gold's gone Crazy...... Anyone know how much it would be to buy direct?

I hate it, it looks horrible and dated, it's only value is resale that's why I would buy it, but I wouldnt pay more than 2k as it's simply ugly.
Belts for for turntables & trousers and the Lonsdale one isnt of any use for either.
