The International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom (IPW:UK) World Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned and copyrighted by International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom. The title was established in 2005 and is the highest ranked championship in the company. Championship reigns are determined by professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers, involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or fan favorites as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches for the championship.
History
The title was established in 2005, two months ahead of the company's one year anniversary, at Weekend of Champions where the belt would change hands both nights of the weekend. Although it has been contested in various locations over the country, it has only changed hands thus far in Kent. The title's name changed when Leroy Kincaide (Leroy Dunn) unified the title with his All-England Championship. When unified the title became IPW:UK Unified British Championship as the All-England Championship[1] owing to the England title's lineage in the British National Championship, but was un-unified on September 15, 2012 and is now recognised as the IPW:UK World Championship. The current champion is Bad Bones.
