Boxing's weight classes

Pro boxing has seventeen traditional divisions, from minimumweight (105 lb) to heavyweight (no limit). Many go by two names: super lightweight is also called junior welterweight, for example. The WBC added bridgerweight (up to 224 lb) in 2020; not every body recognizes it.

Boxers weigh in the day before the fight and usually rehydrate overnight, often coming in several pounds heavier. Some sanctioning bodies run extra checks, like weigh-ins weeks out or on fight morning, to limit drastic cuts.
