Lethwei Nation Championship

2018

The original and the second version

The Lethwei Nation Championship originally included 3 weight-classes: 57-61, 62,66 and 67-71kg. That event was sponsored by 50th Media Myanmar and this was represented on the front plate of the belt. Later on it was decided to have another championship for the 48 and 75kg weight-classes because they were not included in the first edition and also not included in the Golden Belt Championship in 2018. This second event was also named Lethwei Nation Championship, only this time sponsored by Red Bull. This is once again represented on the belt plate. This is why there are two variations of this belt.

The 2018 Golden Belt Championship's belt strongly resembles the second version, but is not to be confused with it.
