Fred Askew's record has been credited in Record Books with 5 additional victories, all fought in Arizona in 1970-1971. A recent research has found no traces of these fights or these competitions ever happening so they have been taken out of the record as most likely being fictional "record-padding" results :

  • W6 over John Esmey in Yuma, 1 October 1970
  • KO2 over Tony Anchondo in Yuma, 26 November 1970
  • W8 over John Esmey in Yuma, 20 December 1970
  • KO2 over Charlie Hall in Yuma, 7 January 1971
  • KO3 over Jose Lujan in Nogales, 23 April 1971
