== History of Championship ==
After the UWA fell apart, the championship eventually ended up in Japan, and as part of the J-Crown Octuple Championship. After that championship was broken apart, the championship drifted to Michinoku Pro Wrestling in Japan.
 
This is a distinct and separate championship from the [[UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship]]. The two titles are occasionally confused with each other on posters. The Junior Light Heavyweight Championship was added in 1977, after the first wave of UWA championships. Those championships were in demand, and this one seemed to be added to create more potential title matches.

Championship history becomes confusing conflicting after Heavy Metal wins this championship. The UWA ceased to exist by 1996, but was still well known enough for various wrestlers to purchase belts (originals or copies) and declare themselves champions. Championship reigns past this point are extremely dubious.
 
The original belt may have been passed on to [[Silver Star]], who defends a title as [[UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship]].

Current Champion

History of Championship

This is a distinct and separate championship from the UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship. The two titles are occasionally confused with each other on posters. The Junior Light Heavyweight Championship was added in 1977, after the first wave of UWA championships. Those championships were in demand, and this one seemed to be added to create more potential title matches.

Championship history becomes confusing conflicting after Heavy Metal wins this championship. The UWA ceased to exist by 1996, but was still well known enough for various wrestlers to purchase belts (originals or copies) and declare themselves champions. Championship reigns past this point are extremely dubious.

The original belt may have been passed on to Silver Star, who defends a title as UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship.
