In 1938 and 1939 there had been talk of crowning a new champion, but they never got around to it]

Rigoulot injured his shoulder during the first fall and could not continue.
Moreau was a substitute for Francis Gregory.
[Moreau winning over Florent is a very odd result, because Florent was being pushed as a new star.
My guess is either Florent got hurt during the match or the result was printed wrong in the report that I found]

However, at one point during 1946 a French article listing all the current champions had also listed him as World Light Heavyweight champion so somewhere along the way he must've picked up the World claim as well]
