Charming antique wooden display lined in green cushion is the perfect home for Middleweight Champ, Al McCoy. McCoy was able to win the title in a surprise KO of George Chip. The golden belt buckle badge (EX) is adorned with a facade of two gloved pugilists within the raised lettering: “East New York, A.C. April 25, Presented to Al McCoy [engraved], 1914.” Display incorporates 4 pendants, which also once adorned the belt, displaying the pasted-on photos of Al McCoy and his family members. The red, white & blue sash which surrounds the badge is deeply faded and slightly tattered.
