Titles? Yes, he held the Commonwealth Fly belt from 1939 to 1941 and the GBU (British) Fly title on three separate occasions, starting in 1935, and actually was holding it at the time of his retirement in 1942.

Benny had only one shot at the WBA title, in November 1939, but lost at UD 15 to Wolgast, the division's dominant Champion at the time.
