The British Flyweight Championship is a British flyweight professional wrestling championship currently defended in XWA. It was created in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA), a promotion that was closed in 2007. In 2009, FWA announced plans to reopen and initiate a Flyweight Championship tour; it is unknown how this will affect the status of the current British Flyweight Championship.[1]

History
The championship was originally created and defended in the Frontier Wrestling Alliance in 2005 as a title belt for the lighter wrestlers who did not qualify for the British Heavyweight Championship; though flyweight is often defined by a 123 lb or 112 lb weight limit in mixed martial arts and boxing, respectively, no strict weight limits are enforced for this belt. The inaugural champion was decided by an eight-man elimination tournament, the brackets for which were:
First Round | Semifinals | Final | ||||||||||||
Aviv Maayan | Pin | |||||||||||||
Bubblegum | ||||||||||||||
Ross Jordan | Pin | |||||||||||||

Ross Jordan was awarded the final match against Spud after the referee stopped the contest due to an injury to Spud's leg. This controversial ending would see Jordan crowned the first FWA Flyweight Champion.
