On his most recent trip to the
USA, South African WBF President
Howard Goldberg made a stop in
North Bergen, New Jersey to
visit the factory of Masis
Boxing Belts, manufacturer of
the estimated blue and gold
championship belts of the World
Boxing Federation.
He was welcomed by owner Johnny
Najjar, who has partnered with
the WBF when the organization
founded in 1988 in Tennessee was
re-launched in 2009, and ever
since each of the WBF’s
high-quality belts was produced
in the little town, best known
for being the home of former
world heavyweight champion Jim
Braddock.
Najjar and his uncle Joe took
Goldberg through the whole
production process inside the
family business and the WBF head
came away impressed:
“It’s
incredible to consider the
amount of craftiness and
artistry it requires to produce
just one single belt."
"That is part
of why we are so proud to not
offer our champions cheap mass
production belts as so often is
the case today, but a product
that it’s worth fighting for and
can proudly be handed over to
your children and grandchildren
long after your fighting days
are over."
"The quality
guaranteed by Masis Boxing Belts
makes our WBF belt a belt for
life.”
