An 18-carat gold trophy has been designed for the newly launched Boxing World Cup.

Boxing has not previously had a World Cup event but following collaboration between IceLink Watch and Golden Boy Promotions, the sport will now have its very own event and accompanying cup, reports Dog House Boxing.

The 18-carat gold cup weighs 15 pounds and is set with over 15,000 precious stones including diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

The cup was specially created by jewellery designer IceLink Watch, which is known for its six time zone watch with six separate clock faces.

IceLink describes itself as a leader in hip-hop jewellery. Suitably its typical designs are watches encrusted in diamonds and fashioned from precious metals such as gold.

Earlier this year it produced a designer cover for a Playstation Portable.

The cup is due to be presented at the Boxing World Cup held on October 29th in Tuscon, Arizon where Thailand and Mexico will be battling it out.
