Former King in the Ring champion Joey Baylon has had his championship belts stolen from his home.

An Auckland fighter claims he has had thousands of dollars worth of property stolen from his house, but it's the theft of his prized belts that is hurting him the most.

Of all the homes to break into, a world champion kick boxer's is likely the last place you'd try your luck.

But that's exactly what happened on Friday January 10, when Joey Baylon got a call from his brother telling him his Te Kauwhata property had been raided.

Baylon, an Auckland based kick boxer, said he was in Australia at the time of the theft preparing for his upcoming MMA bout in February.

Thieves took a $5,000 TV, a PlayStation and GoPro camera gear, he claimed.

That hurt, but learning his priceless fighting belts had also been swiped broke the 35-year-old's heart.

"I wasn't really worried about those other items. It was my belts that really fired me up," he told Stuff.

"It's something I've worked so hard and dedicated myself to for so long, to remind myself that nothing is impossible through hard work and perseverance.

"The belts were in my room. All three got stolen, my first national belt, 2016 King in the Ring belt and my favourite WKBF World Title belt."

Baylon took to social media in a heated appeal to anyone who might have information about the whereabouts of his trophies.

SUPPLIED Baylon has contacted police about the incident.

He did file an official police report and they would be at the property on Saturday to take finger prints, he said.

The home is a new build and had never been broken into before, Baylon said.

While hopeful, Baylon said he doubts he will ever see his beloved gold again.

"It doesn't really make sense, but obviously these idiots have nothing else to do but steal other people's hard earned work off them," he said.

"They should take up martial arts. Maybe then they would learn a thing or two about honour, respect, discipline and hard work."

Last year Kiwi UFC fighter Dan Hooker had his wallet stolen from his truck, and offered the thief to come forward an accept an olive branch to train for free at his gym.

Baylon is in the final month of preparation for his MMA fight on February 19 in Singapore, on the One Warrior series.

Police have been approached for comment.
