title belts

Champions' waist accessories

Title belts are championship belts awarded in combat sports like boxing and professional wrestling, worn around the waist as symbols of holding a title.

In boxing, organizations like the WBA and WBC each issue their own belts, leading to fighters collecting multiple belts to unify titles.

In wrestling, belts are props central to storylines: He's been chasing the title belt for months.

The phrase extends metaphorically to any symbol of supremacy in a competitive field.
