World Light Middleweight Title
Recognized by the Austrian Boxing Board of Control, but by no other agencies. "Griffith was the aggressor throughout, and thoroughly deserved the victory.
It was doubtful if Wright won more than one round, but several were drawn..15 interesting rather than thrilling rounds." (Boxing News, October 26, 1962, page 12)
