Okay, so I’ve been a huge fan of kickboxing for years, and GLORY Kickboxing is like the top-tier stuff. They have these championship belts, and man, they’re something else. I’ve always wanted to get a closer look at one, and maybe even try to make a replica, just for fun, you know?
So, first things first, I started digging around for info about these belts. Turns out, they’re not just for show. The heavyweight one, for example, is a beast! It’s like 26.4 pounds. I watched a ton of videos online of fighters holding these things up after a win, and you can see the effort. It’s made of real leather and apparently, it’s super high-quality. Some videos on social media have got hundreds of thousands of views, thousands of likes, loves, comments, and shares.
I also found out that there are tournaments where the winners get a hefty prize, like $500,000, along with the belt, of course. Some champions defend their titles multiple times. I even read that the more well-known fighters get paid around 10-15k per fight, while new comers get around 3k.
There was this one fighter, Gokhan Saki, who became the Light-Heavyweight champ and won $200k along with the belt. It’s crazy money for a single night, but these guys put their bodies on the line.
I looked up news about these belts and found a magazine website that has all the details about the events, the fighters, and the matches. It’s a good place to stay updated.
After gathering all this info, I decided to try and find detailed pictures or maybe even a 3D model of the belt. If I was gonna try to make a replica, I needed to see every detail.
So, I spent a good few weeks just browsing, reading, and watching everything I could find about GLORY Kickboxing belts. It’s amazing how much detail goes into making these things.
- Weight: I confirmed that the heavyweight belt is indeed around 26.4 pounds.
- Material: It’s handcrafted with real leather.
- Prize Money: The winner of the Heavyweight Grand Prix gets $500,000 and the belt.
- Fighter Pay: More well-known fighters in GLORY earn about 10-15k per fight, while newcomers get around 3k.
- Gokhan Saki: He won the Light-Heavyweight title and a $200k prize.

I haven’t started making anything yet, but I feel like I’ve got a good grasp on what these belts are all about. It’s more than just a prize; it’s a symbol of hard work and dedication. Pretty inspiring stuff!
My Next Move
My next move is figuring out how to get a really detailed look at the belt, then I can start planning how to make my own version. It’s gonna be a fun project, that’s for sure!
I mean, I always thought it would be cool to have a replica of the GLORY Kickboxing belt. It’s like the ultimate prize for these fighters, and even though I’m not a pro fighter or anything, it would still be a cool thing to have. Plus, it’s a nice conversation starter, you know?
Anyway, that’s my little adventure with the GLORY Kickboxing belt so far. I’ll keep you guys updated on my progress. It’s been a blast diving into this world!
