The Master of Ceremonies John Ramsey with 790 WKRD and WAVE 3 made a personal donation from his collection which was gifted to him by Muhammad Ali. The item was created by the WBC in September 2009 and was a “ Diamond Championship” belt which was autographed by Muhammad Ali. The belt was created as an honorary championship exclusively to award the winner of a historic fight between two high-profile and elite boxers, Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston.
