In the WBC's early years the champion received a globe trophy. The green and gold belt only appeared at the end of the 1960s, and it carried the member nation flags from the start — eleven countries in 1963, more than 160 today. That band of flags is what made the WBC belt the most recognisable in the sport.
This one is built as a trucker: white fabric front, mesh rear panels, black flat brim.
What the mesh changes
The two rear panels are open mesh: air moves through instead of being held against the skull. It is the construction used for outdoor work and effort, where a full fabric crown traps heat. The front panel stays solid, which is what allows the print to sit there.
The print
WORLD above, CHAMPION below, in gold capitals, with the WBC belt laid diagonally through the block: green strap, gold plate struck with the initials, flag medallions around it. On a white panel the green of the strap and the gold of the plate hold their full density — the two colours that identify a WBC title in a ringside photograph.
Cut and adjustment
Flat brim, rear snapback closure. The measurement table shared by every flat brim cap sits on the Everlast snapback listing.
Technical specifications
Worth knowing
This is one of the two ventilated builds in the collection, alongside the Fairtex cap. For a warm-up run or an outdoor session, it is the format that moves heat out fastest.
Worth a look
The WBC World Champion cap carries the same block on a full fabric crown with a curved peak. The official WBC cap shows the federation emblem across four colourways, and the Fairtex cap is the collection’s other trucker. Everything sits in the boxing caps collection.
Frequently asked questions
What is a trucker cap?
A cap with mesh rear panels and a solid fabric front, closed with plastic snaps. The open mesh lets air through, which makes it cooler than a full fabric crown.
Which cap should I wear for training outdoors?
A trucker, where the mesh rear panels move heat out. The 7 cm / 2.8 in brim throws shade to the base of the nose, which is what you want on a warm-up run or an outdoor session.
Whose flags are on the WBC belt?
The federation’s member nations — eleven countries at the founding in 1963, more than 160 today. The green and gold belt replaced the globe trophy of the early years at the end of the 1960s.
How do you wash a mesh cap?
By hand only, lukewarm water at 30 °C / 86 °F maximum, mild soap, without pulling on the mesh. Dry flat or over something round: the mesh recovers its shape as it dries provided it has not been wrung out.
Does the white front panel stay clean?
It is the panel that shows marks first, and it is also the easiest to treat: a soft brush with mild soap on the spot itself, without soaking the whole cap. The sweatband inside is what needs the regular attention.
Single colourway: add it straight to the basket.
