ANKARA (AA) - Seren Ay Cetin, a Turkish female boxer who won the 2022 World Boxing Council (WBC) title, is selling her championship belt to help earthquake victims in Türkiye.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Seren Ay Cetin, 26, said she put her WBC Silver Bantamweight title belt at auction to sell it for at least 1 million Turkish liras or $53,000, and the proceeds will go to Ahbap, a Turkish non-governmental organization.

Cetin was the first female Turkish boxer to win a WBC title after defeating Austria's Eva Voraberger, a two-time WBC world champion, in a fight held last May in Istanbul.

More than 36,000 people have died in two strong earthquakes that jolted southern Türkiye on Feb. 6, according to the country's disaster agency.
