1. cruiserweight

   Cruiserweight is a specific weight class in professional boxing between light heavyweight and heavyweight. In most boxing organizations, the maximum weight for a cruiserweight boxer is 200 pounds or 90.7 kilograms. The class was established to accommodate boxers who were too heavy to be light heavyweights but too light to be heavyweights. The term "cruiserweight" can also be used in other combat sports and professional wrestling to denote similar weight categories.

1. Cruiserweight

   Cruiserweight is a weight class in boxing between light heavyweight and heavyweight. Before the advent of the current cruiserweight class, "light heavyweight" and "cruiserweight" were sometimes used interchangeably in the United Kingdom. The current weight limit for the division is 200 pounds. When originally established, the weight limit was 190 pounds. The division was established in order to accommodate smaller heavyweight boxers who could not compete with the growing size of boxers in that division. While many great heavyweight champions weighed around 190 pounds in their career, during the 1970s it became fairly standard that heavyweight boxers weighed 220 pounds or 230 pounds. It was felt by many boxing authorities that asking men weighing between 176 pounds and 190 pounds to fight these larger men was unfair. The WBC was the first boxing organization to recognize the cruiserweight division when it sanctioned a bout between Marvin Camel and Mate Parlov on December 8, 1979, for their version of the title. That fight was a draw, but in the rematch in March 1980 Camel won and became the first cruiserweight champion. In 1982 the World Boxing Association recognized Ossie Ocasio as their first cruiserweight champion when he defeated South African Robbie Williams. The International Boxing Federation followed suit in 1983 when it matched former WBC champion Marvin Camel against Rick Sekorski for their inaugural title. Camel won and became the first IBF cruiserweight champion.
