International Kickboxing Federation (IKF) Lightweight (Pro & Amateur) 127.1 lb – 132 lb or 57.77 kg – 60 kg. Women’s divisions also use this weight class, but usually at a lower weight than the men’s divisions. In Glory promotion, a lightweight division is up to 70 kg (154 lb).
What Winwood, 27, hoped to capitalize on was Niyomtrong’s theoretical ring rust. The Thai was making his first start since July 20 of 2022 when he won a comfortable decision over Wanheng Menayothin in one of the most ballyhooed domestic showdowns in Thai boxing history. But the Noongar needed more edges than that to overcome the Thai who won his first major title in his ninth pro fight with a hard-fought decision over Nicaragua’s Carlos Buitrago who was 27-0-1 heading in.
The International Boxing Federation (IBF) employs a singular approach to the weigh-in process for championship bouts. The boxers are required to go through a weight check the morning of the fight and make the weight at the official weigh-in the day before the fight. During this second and final weigh-in, the participant in the fight may not exceed the weight limit by more than 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds) higher than their starting weight. If a boxer does not show up for the morning weigh-in or cannot make weight, the fight can still place, but the IBF title will not be on the line. Even though there is no higher weight limit in the heavyweight division, the second weigh-in is still required for title fights at this weight class. However, a boxer can only be penalized for failing to submit to the weigh-in if caught doing so.
Besides Parker, Harry Garside is the only other boxer in the squad with prior Olympic experience. Garside won the bronze medal in the men’s 63kg category at Tokyo 2020 to clinch what was Australia’s first Olympic medal in boxing since 1988.
Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez, Evander Holyfield, Oscar de la Hoya, Henry Armstrong, Roberto Duran, and Ray Robinson are just a handful of the boxing greats who have competed across multiple weight classes.

“Hagler was a breathtaking hurting machine at his best, a very good, aggressive ryder boxer stats with tremendous punching power and one of the best chins of all time,” Anson Wainwright wrote in The Ring. Hagler was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993.
Try them on: It’s always best to try on gloves before buying them to ensure a proper fit. Put on the gloves and make a fist to see how they feel. The gloves should fit snugly around your hand and wrist, with no movement or slipping.
However, he would lose the title in a unification bout against Keith Thurman with the WBA Welterweight championship also on the line. Including his losses to Shawn Porter and his most recent loss to Errol Spence Jr., Garcia is 1-3 in world title fights at welterweight. Despite this, Garcia has an impressive resume of wins at welterweight, including Lamont Peterson, Paul Malignaggi, and Samuel Vargas.

Thanks for answering my question. Just to clarify is the Tri-tech a gloves that comes under the ‘all-around’ glove type that would be suitable for sparring and bag work? Also is there a difference between training gloves and sparring gloves? Sorry for asking so many questions, it’s just there’s a lot of stuff to take in. Thanks
Professional men’s boxing typically recognises 17 major weight divisions, starting from minimum weight (105 lbs) and going up to heavyweight (over 200 lbs). These divisions ensure that boxers compete in a fair and safe environment.
This division has become one of the worst in boxing. It has all the talent that you can ask for, but there is simply more talking than fighting going on. On the other hand, the division has the most undefeated fighters in boxing, two top three P4P champions, and probably the best top 3 contenders in all of boxing. What does that show? The best fighters at 147 pounds are not fighting each other. Will they? That’s the only way to save this division.
“We’re going through due process,” WBA president Gilberto Mendoza told ESPN. “We’re going to listen to Puello’s arguments and let him disclose all the information. We’ll send all his information to the medical and legal committee, and then we’ll come back with an answer regarding his status as champion.”
