Josh Taylor went all out to prove he was the best fighter at 140lbs when defeating Jose Ramirez earlier this year. With his lofty position secured, Taylor, if he decides to stay at super-lightweight long term could have his hands full with Mikey Garcia and Gervonta Davis. There’s also the possibility of revisiting past rivalries with Ramirez and Regis Prograis. Montana Love is another fighter worth monitoring too.
Beginning with England’s James Figg, who in 1719 became boxing’s first recognised champion, the sport generally produced one champion at a time, allowing fans and historians to follow reasonably clear lineages . Contenders had to defeat the champion, to become the champion, or if no champion existed due to a retirement, other ring achievements were assessed.
Bantamweight was first established in the 1890s by the American Boxing Association. It would subsequently appear under other rules, such as The Queensberry Rules and the London Prize Ring Rules, in which the weight limit fluctuated between 105 lbs and 116 lbs. However, the NSC officially sanctioned it in 1909 at the current weight limit of 118 lbs.
Male boxers weighing beyond 200 pounds (91 kg) are usually designated as heavyweights. For female fighters, the threshold is above 175 (79 kg) pounds. This division has always attracted the most attention since the dawn of boxing. The fighters in this category usually earn the most money.
The beginnings of the current version of the belt were initially created in 1889 by the Amature Boxing Association of England. It was later modified and officially established by the National Sporting Club (NSC) in 1909 at the weight limit of 160 lbs.
Modern day legends Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao did a lot of their best career work at welterweight, while Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have starred in recent times at 147 pounds.

Boxers competing in the minimumweight, aka strawweight division, must weigh in at no more than 105 pounds (48 kg). This weight class is a fairly recent addition to professional boxing, established by major boxing-sanctioning bodies between 1987 and 1990.
Devin Haney hails from the United States of America. He is the former undisputed lightweight champion, and he relinquished his titles to go up in weight. Haney fought twice in 2023, winning both bouts against Vasiliy Lomachenko and Regis Prograis. In his debut at super lightweight, Haney defeated Prograis to become the WBC champion. Haney stands at 5ft 8in and has an astonishing record of 31-0, 15 of those victories coming by method of TKO.

The suggestion that a fight must now be "sanctioned" by an ABC organization - with a glittery belt on the line - in order to be for a world championship, is propaganda, perpetuated by promoters and sanctioning bodies, who rely on each other to remain relevant. When Jack Johnson defeated Tommy Burns, he received no belt. Neither did Jack Dempsey when he savaged Jess Willard for the title in 1919. No sanctioning bodies were needed.
Kamaru Usman, who has the most division titles in boxing took over the welterweight championship after defeating Tyron Woodley, defended his title against Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal at UFC 245 and UFC 251, respectively.
