Replica IBF Middleweight Championship belt dating to May 22, 1993 when Roy Jones, Jr. first obtained the title after defeating Bernard Hopkins. The red leather belt measures approximately 48” long and weighs 7 ½ lbs. The belt sports a gold-colored center plate that reads “IBF WORLD CHAMPION INTERNATIONAL BOXING FEDERATION” above two boxing gloves. Above is a gold-colored eagle mounted. Adjacent to the left and right are two 4” gold-colored medallions that feature laurelled leaves. Jones, Jr. has signed the belt twice. One under the center plate and once further along the belt with the added inscription “My 1st World Title - Became IBF Champ On 5-22-93”. Adjacent to this signature is an “Official IBF” gold-colored plate with the “IBF” logo. The signatures are done in black marker and rates a strong 8 overall. Accompanied by an LOA from JSA.
