The British Flyweight Championship is a British flyweight professional wrestling title originally defended in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance (as the FWA Flyweight Championship) and currently the XWA.

The championship have been known as:

  • FWA Flyweight Championship (2005 – 2007)
  • (XWA) British Flyweight Championship (2007 – current)

[edit] Creation

The championship was created in 2005 as a title belt for the smaller wrestlers in the company. The promotion's "flywieght" wrestlers, as they were known entered in an 8-Man Single Elimination Tournament to crown the first champion.

Ross Jordan was awarded the final match against Spud after the referee stopped the contest due to an injury to Spud's leg. This contraversal ending would see Jordan crowned the first FWA flyweight Champion.
