How come wrestling and boxing use belts as awards for the champions? Why not medals or trophies?

Medals are too much like the Olympics, and trophies are too hard to carry around from fight to fight (or show to show). Belts have neither disadvantage.
Besides, a medal is hard to see from a distance, while a belt stands out better.
