TYSON FURY’S trainer SugarHill Steward has been awarded the WBC Trainer’s belt.
Steward, 47, has worked with the Gypsy King since 2019 and helped him win each of his last three fights.
In doing so Fury became WBC world champion and the organisation has now bestowed a similar honour to Steward.
The WBC awards a belt to every trainer who has helped a fighter to world champion status.
Steward was seen with his green belt in the ring at Wembley after the fight, with it draped across his shoulder.
The belt is inspired by the towel trainers wear during fights and even has a cutout so it fits snuggly around the neck.

Steward was full of pride after Fury knocked out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round and he too was shirtless after the bout.
Fury came to Steward due to Kronk gym’s reputation of creating knock-out artists – the Brit has since won three out of three fights via knockout or technical knockout.
The latest was arguably the best of all as Fury landed the perfect uppercut to send Whyte flying – even knocking out the tooth of the Bodysnatcher.
But Steward may now be on the search for a new prizefighter after Fury reinforced his intention to quit the sport after his win.
After defending his world heavyweight crown Fury paid tribute to Steward, saying: “I also want to say, this man here, Sugarhill Steward, he made a great fighter.
“Years ago, used to jib and jab, touch and slide, but you’ve seen me here tonight.
“Sugar, what a legend you are, mate. You’ve made me the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division by a mile.
“This man is the best trainer in all of boxing. He’s better than anybody. We were unbelievable tonight.”
