Exceptional ring to commemorate Thomas Hearns' first two World Championship fights in 1980 and 1982. 10-karat gold ring, sized 7.5, features a 1/2 carat diamond at center (SI3 quality and H in color), in the middle of a gold crown design atop a red colored cabouchon stone. Top of ring reads ''World Champion''. One side of ring reads ''Kronk Boxing Team'' and ''Kim Craig'', Hearn's wife, to whom this ring was given (presumably not to wear as it's very large with a design resembling Super Bowl rings). The other side reads ''Thomas Hearns'' next to an gold image of him above ''Two Times / 154 lbs. Dec. 3 1982 / 147 lbs. Aug. 2 1980'', referencing Hearns' first two titles: WBA Welterweight defeating Pipino Cuevas on 2 August 1980, and WBC Super Welterweight defeating Wilfred Benitez on 3 December 1982. Very light wear and rubbing, otherwise near fine. Ring weighs a sold 36.3 grams.
