The BJW World Strong Heavyweight Championship (BJW認定世界ストロングヘビー級王座, BJW nintei sekai sutorongu hebī-kyū ōza) is a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship owned by the Japanese Big Japan Pro Wrestling (BJW) promotion. It is one of two heavyweight championships promoted by BJW, the other being the BJW Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship. The two titles symbolize the two sides of BJW; the Deathmatch Heavyweight Championship the hardcore wrestling side and the World Strong Heavyweight Championship the strong style side.[5] The title has a lower weight limit of 96 kg (212 lb). Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. There have been nineteen reigns shared among eleven different wrestlers. Hideyoshi Kamitani is the current champion in his second reign.
