Starting from its 10th-anniversary event dubbed as “ONE X” on Saturday, March 26, ONE Championship will be awarding a newly-designed world title for its championship matches.

The intricately-crafted belt was unveiled by company head honcho Chatri Sityodtong during the ONE X kick-off press conference on Wednesday, March 23 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

The new ONE Championship title design looks very similar to its silver-plated ONE World Grand Prix counterpart but overlaid with gold.

International Business Times sports editor and combat sports analyst Nissi Icasiano got hold of the specs of ONE Championship's new world championship titles.

Weighing over 26.4 pounds, three golden plates are mounted by hand on a thick natural black leather strap with the words “world champion” etched around the ONE Championship logo in the center.

It is complemented by a crown motif at the top with seven red jewels that represent the promotion’s martial arts core values of integrity, humility, honor, respect, courage, discipline, and compassion.

Meanwhile, the two secondary plates add eminent value to the handmade masterpiece as it is studded with 42 white gems on each side.

Five world title fights are scheduled at the highly-anticipated ONE X, which takes at the aforementioned 12,000-seater venue in the urbanized Singaporean locale of Kallang.

Angela Lee puts her ONE women’s atomweight championship on the line in the main event against challenger and World Grand Prix winner Stamp Fairtex in the main event.

In one of the co-feature attractions, Adriano Moraes returns to action to defend his flyweight belt against Japanese knockout artist Yuya Wakamatsu.

ONE Super Series title bouts are also on deck for the organization’s 10th-year celebration, with Superbon Singha Mawynn staking his kickboxing featherweight championship against Marat Grigorian in a scheduled five-round collision.

Muay Thai bantamweight champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao is slated to battle Felipe Lobo, while Capitan Petchyindee Academy goes one-on-one with Hiroki Akimoto with his kickboxing bantamweight title up for grabs.

“It’s been a crazy 10 years. When I look back at the journey, all the highs and lows, I could never have imagined this. I truly believe we have the greatest world championship roster of any organization of the world,” Chatri stated in jubilance.
