"World champion" is an embellishment, but he was a strong points fighter within North America. His six championships were for a tournament that crowned self-titled "Professional [weight class] Karate Champions", with the "World" embellishment added later.

Reminds of King of Kong and those arcade and video game "World Championships" in 80s/90s basically only involving Americans.
