Strawweight Rankings — Full List

    What Is the Lowest Weight Class in Boxing?

    The lowest weight class in professional boxing is strawweight, also known as minimumweight, with a limit of 105 lbs (47.6 kg). The division is most active in regions such as Asia and Latin America, where smaller weight classes traditionally have greater depth and popularity. Despite receiving less mainstream attention in the UK and US, strawweight has produced highly skilled and dominant champions, including Ricardo López, one of the most technically accomplished fighters in boxing history.
