What is kickboxing weight classes?

Kickboxing weight classes are divisions based on the weight of the fighters competing in the sport. These weight classes are designed to create more even matchups by matching fighters of similar size and weight against each other.

Typically, kickboxing weight classes range from as light as 105 pounds (mini flyweight) to as heavy as 265 pounds (super heavyweight). The specific weight limits for each weight class can vary depending on the organization or governing body organizing the fights.

Some common kickboxing weight classes include:

1. Flyweight (up to 112 pounds)
2. Bantamweight (112-118 pounds)
3. Featherweight (118-126 pounds)
4. Lightweight (126-135 pounds)
5. Welterweight (135-147 pounds)
6. Middleweight (147-160 pounds)
7. Light Heavyweight (160-175 pounds)
8. Heavyweight (175-209 pounds)
9. Super Heavyweight (209 pounds and above)

It's important for fighters to compete in the appropriate weight class to ensure fair and competitive matches. Failure to make weight can result in penalties or disqualification from the fight.
