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).

He had 2 WBC belts. One of the them says ‘Muhammad Ali Trophy’ at the top

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.
