A silver belt, given to him by his patrons to honour his achievements, and made in Birmingham, was featured on the television programme Antiques Roadshow,[3] while in the possession of one of his descendants. It was subsequently donated to the British Boxing Board of Control and is now displayed at their headquarters.[4]

Brettle died aged 40 and is buried in the churchyard of St. Peter's Church, Harborne[2] in Birmingham.
