I remember when I was young, Danny Lynch used to come to Beirut. My grandfather used to talk about his strength. At that time there was also Prince Kumali too on the scene in Beirut. Whether Lynch a title in Beirut, I'm not sure.

I addressed this question to Mr Gernot Freiberger of Austria, one of the top wrestling researchers in Europe, hope to hear back from him soon. If it happened on the Continent we will know it pretty soon. South Africa or Hong Kong, it is an interesting idea, need to work that direction as well. Appreciate as always.
The engraving on the belt is in English so that will probably rule out Europe, you may well be looking again to South Africa but it could just as easily be Hong Kong
I think All Nations Title was the Europe based championship held at one of the major wrestling capitals on the Continent, but as of now I have no credible evidences thereof, so it's just a theory. But yeah I don't think he won it in Great Britain or in Canada. Continental Europe, pretty sure that's where it has happened, going to double check it all and will sure share all my finds on this matter.
Another fairly wild guess Ruslan is to look to Zimbabwe. I believe they had an All Nations title and I think Dangerous Danny wrestled there in the 1960s.

We used to read about British wrestlers in Beirut (well, what they wanted to tell us) so more of your memories would be interesting.

Here's a much younger Danny:
I thought that belt was of continental origin, Germany Austria. Now I think it was one of many British belts which was manufactured for a certain KO.
Danny claimed to have a won a world title in Beirut in 1982, could this be it?

There was an All Nations tournament in Berlin, but that was in the early 50's, before Danny would have been there.

Great to see you on the Forum Ruslan.
I wonder if that belt says All Nations Canadian Title.
Does it help if you read my bio on Danny in Stampede.
