Shortest World Title Reigns?

Would Cleverly's be the shortest reign in history if he was to lose against Bellew on Saturday?

I tried to find out but it must be surely, the only ones I could find were won and lost in the ring posted on another forum:

Eduardo Ray Marquez was WBO Strawweight Champion for 36 days. Mike Glover was World Welterweight Champion for 21 days and Waldemar Holberg for 23. Anyone beat that?

 

Yokozuna beat Bret Hart at Wrestlemania 9 for the World Heavyweight title, but was immediately challenged and beat by Hulk Hogan - he held the belt for about 10 minutes

beat that

 

one of the top of my head.....randy turpin ?...64 days was it ?...far too long to be included here though

 

Shortest recorded title reign is Dolph Ziggler 11 minutes 55 seconds (whoever the funk that is).

 

A jobber.

 

Andre The Giant won the title, then gave it to The Million Dollar Man 45 seconds later!

 

You must be older than me!

 

Winning and losing (rather than vacating), possibly still belongs to Emile Plander (47 days; March 2nd 1929 to April 18th 1929).

Shortest European reign, possibly Ernest Weiss (31 days; May 30 to June 30 1941)

Shortest British reign; Frank Goddard (24 days; May 25 to June 17 1919)

 

Glover actually claimed the title for two years...

 

Still got that on VHS!

 

I believe that he beat Matt Wells on the 1st of June and lost it on the 22nd of June to Jack Britton in 1915 actually.

 

Alex Arthur pretty much the same as Clev, interim champ, awarded full belt then lost to Cook.

 

Its been beaten

Bob Backlund also won it from Bret Hart and was then challenged by Diesel and powerbombed in about 2 minutes i think :yep

 

He did indeed, but he claimed the title some two years previous when he beat Marcel Thomas in July 1913...
