Does Henry hold the record for most successful title defenses in a year?

1939 -11 defenses of the WW title, but in the midst loses the LW title to Lou Ambers.

11 WW defenses and one LW defense = 12 for 1939; sounds like a record to me, I'd bet on it but I can't prove it.

Indeed, that's an all time record. He also got the record of most title defenses in a month with 3.
