Weight

Boxing divisions are primarily categorized by weight classes, with numerous divisions from lighter weights (like Strawweight) up to the unlimited Heavyweight division, featuring specific weight limits for each, such as Featherweight (126 lbs) and Middleweight (160 lbs), ensuring fair competition between similarly-sized fighters. [1, 2]  
Here's a common breakdown of professional boxing weight classes, from lightest to heaviest: 

• Strawweight/Minimumweight: Up to 105 lbs 
• Light Flyweight: 105-108 lbs 
• Flyweight: 108-112 lbs 
• Super Flyweight: 112-115 lbs 
• Bantamweight: 115-118 lbs 
• Super Bantamweight: 118-122 lbs 
• Featherweight: 122-126 lbs 
• Super Featherweight: 126-130 lbs 
• Lightweight: 130-135 lbs 
• Super Lightweight/Junior Welterweight: 135-140 lbs 
• Welterweight: 140-147 lbs 
• Super Welterweight/Junior Middleweight: 147-154 lbs 
• Middleweight: 154-160 lbs 
• Super Middleweight: 160-168 lbs 
• Light Heavyweight: 168-175 lbs 
• Cruiserweight: 175-200 lbs 
• Bridgerweight: 200-224 lbs (a newer division) 
• Heavyweight: 200+ lbs (unlimited) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  

Note: Exact limits can vary slightly between sanctioning bodies (WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO), but the structure is consistent. Amateur boxing has fewer, slightly different divisions, especially at the Olympic level. [1, 6, 7, 8, 9]  
Would you like to know the specific weight limits for amateur boxing divisions, or how catchweights function in professional fights?
