He has also held an empty coke can, an animated discussion on Norwich City and his own cock.

All of which were far greater achievements than attaining the trouser lofting WBF bauble.

I did check and this wasn't an April edition of Boxing Monthly when I read a small piece on him.

I think he called it the "Mickey Mouse" world championship or something like that.

It was Rob Galloway. He made a belt out of an old hubcap and a strip of vinyl and drew Mickey Mouse's face on the hubcap with a permanent marker. He called it the Dizneyworld Boxing Championship (deliberate misspelling) and appointed himself champion and president. In his next fight, Kent Davis outpointed him, but he (as the DBC) decided the decision was unfair so reinstated himself as champ.
