WHAT'S MY WEIGHT CLASS?

How boxing weight classes work

Boxing is divided into weight classes to ensure fair competition between fighters of similar size. Each division has a maximum weight limit, and fighters must weigh in at or below that limit before a fight.

Lower weight classes emphasise speed, footwork, and volume punching, while heavier divisions favour power and physical strength. Knowing your weight class helps you understand the type of fighters you would face and how styles typically match up.
