Fury\u2019s humanitarian work in Thailand has become a defining part of his legacy. His upcoming boxing event in Pattaya has been transformed into a major charitable initiative, with the British champion donating 100 percent of the proceeds from 1,500 VIP ticket sales to organizations supporting starving, underprivileged, and homeless children throughout Pattaya.<\/p>\n

Crafted to embody Thailand\u2019s rich cultural heritage, the WBC METTA Humanitarian Belt features the iconic WBC logo at its center, surrounded by the flags of the WBC\u2019s global family to symbolize humanitarian efforts without borders.<\/p>\n

The belt proudly displays the colors of the Thai flag and incorporates traditional symbols.
