New Zuffa Boxing belt revealed as replies restricted
Turki Alalshikh limited replies on his X post unveiling the Zuffa Boxing championship belt, allowing only accounts he tagged to respond. Public comments were blocked from appearing directly beneath the announcement.
A notice attached to the post confirmed that only mentioned accounts could respond. The image showed Alalshikh holding the belt alongside Dana White and WWE president Nick Khan, presenting it as part of the Zuffa Boxing structure.
Reaction did not disappear. It moved.
Responses appeared under reposts and secondary coverage, including material shared byRing Magazine, where reply access remained open. Users commented on the belt’s design, the creation of a separate championship line, and the absence of announced title fights connected to it.
The strap carries the words “Zuffa Boxing Champion.” It signals the promotion’s plan to operate its own championship route outside the established sanctioning bodies.
Inside boxing, belts hold importance when attached to ranked contenders, sanctioned mandatories, and champions tested over rounds against recognised opposition. No fighters have been linked to the Zuffa belt yet, and no championship bouts have been scheduled.
Alalshikh continued posting after the reveal, adding comments tied to meetings in Las Vegas. The belt exists. The fight attached to it does not.
Until a contender lifts it in a sanctioned bout against proven opposition, the strap remains a symbol rather than a divisional position.
Today I am happy, I met with my brothers Dana and Nick in Las Vegas and they gifted me the first Zuffa Boxing belt – made with beautiful diamonds. This is a huge start for Zuffa, and only the very best will be lucky enough to win this belt. 💪🏻🥊🔥🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/yUpVUl222S
