What weight class am I? Boxing and MMA weight class finder

Weight classes are set by whoever regulates or sanctions a bout, and the published tables do not all agree. In the US, MMA classes follow the Association of Boxing Commissions’ Unified Rules. Boxing has commission schedules and each sanctioning body’s own list — and above 175 lb they part company.

Enter a weight to see where it falls in four published tables, with every limit in pounds and kilograms. The tables describe rule-book limits only; this page gives no advice on making weight.

Find a weight class

Every limit is an upper limit: a weight exactly on it belongs to that class.

Switching converts the weight.

How weight classes work

Each class runs from just over the limit of the class below it up to and including its own limit — Nevada’s regulation and the ABC’s MMA rules both write classes as “over X to Y”. So a weight exactly on a limit is in the lighter class, and the heaviest class has no upper limit at all.

Pounds to kilograms

kg = lb × 0.45359237

The limits are set in pounds. The kilogram figures use NIST’s exact factor and are rounded to the nearest gram — the three decimals the WBC prints — and a weight typed in kilograms is compared at the same precision, so a weight equal to a limit as shown is inside the class. The WBC’s own figures match these except at cruiserweight, where it prints 90.719 kg for 200 lb; the exact figure is 90.718474 kg.

The four tables

Two of the tables come from regulators and two from sanctioning bodies. The Association of Boxing Commissions’ Unified Rules of Boxing do not include a weight table, so for boxing the finder shows a state commission’s schedule — Nevada’s — alongside the WBC’s and IBF’s own lists.

Where the boxing tables differ

From 105 to 175 lb the three boxing tables share the same limits, though the IBF calls several of them “junior” classes where the WBC says “light” or “super”, and the IBF adds a 102 lb class below the others. Above 175 lb they part company:

Boxing above 175 lb
TableClasses above light heavyweight
Nevada commissionCruiserweight up to 195 lb; heavyweight over 195 lb
WBCCruiserweight up to 200 lb; bridgerweight up to 224 lb; heavyweight over 224 lb
IBFCruiserweight up to 200 lb; heavyweight over 200 lb

MMA’s classes are a different ladder altogether: under the ABC’s rules, cruiserweight runs to 225 lb and heavyweight to 265 lb.

Worked example

A weight of 150 lb is 68.039 kg. The four tables give it three different names:

150 lb in each table
TableClassUnder the limit by
MMA — ABC Unified RulesLightweight5.0 lb
Boxing — Nevada commissionSuper Welterweight4.0 lb
Boxing — WBCSuper Welterweight4.0 lb
Boxing — IBFJunior Middleweight4.0 lb

Nevada and the WBC agree on the name and the limit; the IBF has the same limit under a different name; and in MMA the same weight sits 5.0 lb inside lightweight.

What the finder does not cover

  • Weight cutting or health. The tables are rule-book limits; nothing here is advice on making weight.
  • Every organisation. Other sanctioning bodies, such as the WBA and WBO, publish their own lists, and promotions can contract bouts at catch weights between the classes.
  • Women’s divisions. The WBC lists its women’s divisions separately; the boxing tables here are its men’s list, Nevada’s schedule and the IBF’s list as published.
  • Changes after 2 October 2026, the day these tables were checked against their sources.

The guide to MMA weight classes explains why the bands are uneven and how catch weights and missed weight are handled, and how fight cards are built covers how weight, rankings and styles shape a card.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What weight class am I in boxing?
It depends whose table you use. From 105 to 175 lb, Nevada’s commission schedule and the WBC and IBF ratings lists share the same limits, though not always the same names. Above that, Nevada caps cruiserweight at 195 lb, the WBC and IBF at 200, and the WBC adds bridgerweight up to 224 lb before heavyweight.
What weight class am I in MMA?
The Association of Boxing Commissions’ Unified Rules of MMA list 15 classes, from atomweight (up to 105 lb) to super heavyweight (over 265 lb). A weight exactly on a limit belongs to the lighter class: the rules write each one as “over X to Y”.
Do all boxing organisations use the same weight classes?
No. Above 175 lb the WBC, the IBF and Nevada’s schedule all differ, and the IBF lists a 102 lb class below the others. Names differ too: at 108, 115, 122, 130, 140 and 154 lb the IBF says “junior” where the WBC says “light” or “super”.
How many kilograms is each weight class?
The limits are set in pounds and converted here at exactly 0.45359237 kg per pound, NIST’s figure, then rounded to the nearest gram — the three decimals the WBC uses. Lightweight in MMA, for example, runs to 155 lb, which is 70.307 kg.
Does this tell me what weight I should fight at?
No. It shows where a weight falls in published rule books and nothing more — it gives no advice on cutting or gaining weight, and official weigh-ins follow the regulating commission’s own procedures.
