Title history

edit

As of November 22, 2024, there have been 31 reigns between 23 champions and two vacancy. Noam Dar was the inaugural champion, defeating Andy Wild, Falcon and Rob Cage in a tournament final at Fear and Loathing 3.[5] Kenny Williams has the most reigns with four. Liam Thomson's second reign is the longest at 426 days, while Craig Anthony and Stevie James' reigns are both the shortest at less than a day.[6]

The title has been a stepping stone for some champions to move towards the ICW World Heavyweight Championship, including Wolfgang, Lionheart, Stevie Boy, BT Gunn and, most recently, Leyton Buzzard.[7][8]

Kenny Williams is the current champion in his fourth reign. He defeated Stevie James for the title at Shug's Hoose Party 8 on August 13, 2023, in Glasgow, Scotland. James had defeated Jason Reed earlier in the night to win the championship for the first time, before Williams announced he was using his cash-in opportunity.[9]
