Police Gazette Diamond Belt

Taken from the Police Gazette Supplement, The Champions and Ex-Champions of the American and English Prize Ring, December 15, 1888.

The Police Gazette became the "official" source for boxing info and the publisher, Richard K. Fox, began the practice in the US of giving out these belts in the 1880's. The Gazette was eventually replaced as the boxing "authority" by the Ring magazine in the early 1920's.
