He successfully defended the belt that evening against Go Shiozaki. In November, Galloway took the championship to London, England in November against Jody Fleisch, However, Galloway was not able to commit to fully defending the title, due to other bookings in his homeland and his academic studies, he was thus forced to relinquish the championship in January 2007.
