Henry

Branham Bantamweight Champion

Throughout his sermons, William Branham boasted of being a champion boxer. According to
Branham, he made his way through the tournaments up to a three-state championship in the
Bantamweight class, and won that championship. But is William Branham the sibling who was the
championship boxer?
And we're waiting with great anticipations of getting overseas and back to the people... Can you hear
me all right up in the balconies? Is it coming in? All right. And I was thinking, the remark that I made
the last time I was here. I said, "This is a--a ring where the people wrestle and--and fight." I
remember; I used to have that kind of sport myself. I was... used to box. I won the Bantamweight
Championship of the three states, and wasn't defeated. I just give it up to preach the Gospel.
- Branham, 54-0304
Though Voice of God Recordings has made the claim that newspaper archives were destroyed in
the flood, we find that the archives are extremely easy for anyone to access. And for the area filled
with liquor distilleries, gambling casinos, racetracks, and more, boxing was a favorite local pastime.
Not only was it very popular, it was highly publicized.
When one searches the newspapers for "Branham" and "bantamweight," it is very easy to find the
records for the championship boxer. But it isn't William that we find, it is his brother, Henry. In 1940,
Henry Branham was a common name in the Louisville newspaper, The Courier Journal.
But why does William Branham never mention his brother's rise to fame in the Bantamweight
championship? Why does William claim this achievement for himself? Was William Branham jealous
of his brother?
And why is Voice of God Recordings telling the people that these archives were "destroyed" in the
1937 flood? We had no problem at all finding these records. In fact, any of you can also find them
online at courier-journal.com. Are they being honest with us?
