Australasian Welterweight Title (as of 2024-05-11)
* Many of the pre-1960s title reigns are also for the Australian national title. The competitor may have held both titles at the time or was actually the national champion but listed as Australasian champion in the newspaper articles (although there are too many such cases to consider them as simple mistakes).
