The FIP World Heavyweight Championship is a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship owned by the Full Impact Pro (FIP) promotion. It is currently the highest ranked championship in FIP. The title was introduced on September 25, 2004 at FIP's "Emergence: Part Two" event as the FIP Heavyweight Championship.[1] It was renamed the FIP World Heavyweight Championship on March 3, 2007, when then-champion Roderick Strong defeated Pac in Liverpool, England at the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion's "Fifth Year Festival: Liverpool" event.[2] Overall, there have been 21 reigns shared among 16 wrestlers. Title changes happen mostly at FIP-promoted events, which are usually released on DVD. The title has changed hands four times at non-FIP events. Reigns two and four occurred at ROH-promoted events, while reigns 10 and 11 happened at Dragon Gate events.
The inaugural champion was Homicide, who defeated CM Punk in the finals of a two-night tournament that concluded on September 25, 2004 at FIP's "Emergence: Part Two" event.[1]Roderick Strong holds the record of most reigns, with three. At 562 days, Fred Yehi's first reign is the longest in the title's history. Strong, with a combined three reigns, holds the record for most days as champion at 626. Masaaki Mochizuki's only reign holds the record for shortest reign at 49 days. Anthony Henry is the champion, after defeating Austin Theory on September 30, 2018, to win the title.
Since being renamed as a "World Championship" after a UK defense in March 2007, the title has been defended internationally multiple times. Not only has the championship been successfully defended in Japan, China, Canada, Mexico[3][4][5][6] but the title has also changed hands in both Japan and China.[7]
