Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship (2017–present)
The Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship is a
professional wrestling
championship owned by the
Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro/RPW)
promotion . The title was created and debuted on 16 July 2005 and is the promotion's principal championship. The current champion is
Michael Oku , who is in his first reign.
The current title was formed after the IPW:UK Championship and the
All-England Championship were unified into the Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship, but later became known as simply the "British Heavyweight Championship" after RPW separated itself from
International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom (IPW:UK). The title has been defended in the
United States and in
Japan through RPW's working relationships with
New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and
Ring of Honor (ROH). In 2018, the championship name was reverted to the "Undisputed British Heavyweight Championship".
Title history
Michael Oku is the current champion in his first reign. He defeated
