Name Variations by Organisation

All four bodies use the same weight limits — only the names change. The WBO famously calls the 108 lb class "Junior Flyweight" rather than "Light Flyweight", which is the most commonly misunderstood naming difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Boxing has 17 official weight classes in 2026, from Minimumweight at 105 lbs to Heavyweight at 200+ lbs. The limits are set by the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO — all four bodies use the same limits, though some division names differ between organisations.

The 17 core divisions have been stable since 2015, when the major sanctioning bodies formally agreed on standardised names. The only recent addition is Bridgerweight (224 lbs / 101.6 kg), recognised by the WBC since 2020 and the WBA since 2023, but not by the IBF or WBO as of 2026.
