Excerpt from a Cracks Podcast interview where Mauricio Sulaimán describes a miniature replica of a World Boxing Council (WBC) championship belt: its design includes photos of Muhammad Ali, Sulaimán's father, the two greatest fighters per weight class (determined by worldwide vote), and the current champion. The replica is made by the original manufacturer (Cleto Reyes). The clip also briefly asks about upcoming projects, including a Grand Prix in December.

Hey, speaking of, can I grab this that you just gave me? It's one of the nicest gifts I've ever received. Oh, look. Ah. It's a miniature. A miniature replica of a. Sorry, a World Boxing Council belt. And I saw that it has your dad's photo. It has Ali's photo. And you were telling me that in addition to the WBC logo, the official belts have other photos. Tell me about those photos. The championship belt has Muhammad Ali representing the greatest in history. When my dad passed away, it was decided to put him there. And in boxing, there are 18 weight classes, from strawweight to heavyweight. In each of the divisions, a worldwide vote was held to determine the two greatest in history as part of the same process of recognizing the champions. So each division has Ali, my dad, the two greatest in that division, and photos of the current champion. It's incredible. And Cleto Reyes. Apart from that. Yes, yes, yes. It's a scale replica made by the same manufacturer of the original belt. I'm going to ask you to sign it for me right now. I'm going to leave it here so I don't forget. Oh, come on, Mao. What's coming up in the next 12 months with the Grand Prix coming up in December? What's the project that excites you the most in the next 12 months?
