What is the Cruiserweight Division?

The boxing cruiserweight division, which started in 1979, is for athletes who weigh up to 200 pounds. It is in the middle of the light heavyweight and heavyweight classes. Notably, Evander Holyfield became the first undisputed winner in the weight class in the late 1980s, before moving up to heavyweight. The WBA was the first organization to identify this group. In pro wrestling, the weight rules are a little different. For example, WWE’s Cruiserweight Championship puts the limit at 205 pounds. Because this weight class isn’t as well known as others, athletes often move up to heavyweight to get more attention and money. The word “cruiserweight” can also be used for similar weight classes in kickboxing, mixed martial arts (MMA), and other combat sports.
