WBC Day of the Dead Belt impact\u00a0 in boxing events across Mexico and the United States<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The WBC\u2019s Day of the Dead commemorative belt, designed by Francisco Salanueva, winner of the TalentPitch Flow of Designers, was presented during the interim title fights Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Erickson Lubin in Texas and Gabriela \u201cLa Bonita\u201d S\u00e1nchez vs. Tamara De Marco in Puebla, Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a memorable night, Vergil Ortiz Jr. claimed the belt after knocking out Lubin in the second round, while in Puebla, the S\u00e1nchez vs. De Marco bout ended without a winner after an accidental cut led to a technical draw in the second round.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salanueva\u2019s design was chosen from over 50 submissions for its originality and powerful fusion of Mexico\u2019s Day of the Dead tradition with the spirit of world boxing, creating a piece rich in symbolism and emotion.<\/span><\/p>\n

TalentPitch, a platform that connects creatives and professionals through short AI-powered videos, partnered with the WBC to launch the Flow of Designers\u2014a challenge inviting artists to reinterpret the iconic green and gold belt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The result was a heartfelt tribute to two of Mexico\u2019s greatest passions: boxing and D\u00eda de Muertos. Featuring a golden skull centerpiece, a marigold crown, and details in purple and gold, the design embodies strength, transformation, and glory.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than a trophy, this belt symbolizes the immortal spirit of the fighter\u2014one who battles, transcends, and lives forever in the hearts of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans and creators are encouraged to follow WBC and TalentPitch social media, where new \u201cFlows\u201d and creative challenges will soon be announced, celebrating the union of art, culture, and sport.<\/span><\/p>\n
