[3] The trophy was an alligator-skin belt with a solid-gold buckle, an encrusted 4-carat (0.80 g) diamond, and 26 gem chips.

After the Hickok company was taken over by the Tandy Corporation, the award was presented in larger cities such as Chicago or New York.

In 2010, Tony Liccione, the president of the Rochester Boxing Hall of Fame, announced plans to reinstate the Hickok Belt starting in 2012.

[8] Liccione invited the 18 surviving belt winners (except O. J. Simpson, who at the time was incarcerated in Nevada) to the Comeback Dinner, which was held on October 16, 2011, at St. John Fisher College.

[c] Contemporary newspaper reports indicate that monthly winners were also named,[12] only some of whom are included in this table.
