Few days ago, I made a post on Lewis "winning a title belt". I tried to identify that trophy. The only one I could find is dated back to 1953, Portsmouth Jim Smith's Promotion. All the details below.
Yes. He seemed widely billed as world champion for many independents, he was world champion in the second half of the 1960s when I saw him for the WFGB. And that is "world champion." I doubt if Joint would ever let him be a champion. He did wrestle for them but must have had a stormy relationship at times because he was involved in setting up one of the wrestlers unions which Joint would not recognise.
