1. Heavyweight

   Heavyweight is a division, or weight class, in boxing. Fighters who weigh over 200 pounds are considered heavyweights by the major professional boxing organizations: the International Boxing Federation, the World Boxing Association, the World Boxing Council, and the World Boxing Organization. For most boxing organizations, the maximum weight for a cruiserweight is 200 pounds. Thus, a fighter whose weight is over 200 lb may not fight as anything but a heavyweight.

Examples of heavyweight in a Sentence

1. Grand Slam singles champion Djokovic:

   I felt I'm out of shape( for sumo) a little bit... with a few more kilos, I'll be ready to compete. Probably three times as much as I have right now would be the right measurement for me to compete, it's quite impressive to see also how flexible they are... I didn't think that they were that flexible considering it's a heavyweight sport.

2. Lennox Lewis:

   Only heavyweight fights are the 'Fights of the Century', but I'm going to be watching it. I'm trying to get some tickets.

3. President Trump:

   Today I've issued an executive grant of clemency, a full pardon, posthumously, to John Arthur' Jack' Johnson... The first African-American heavyweight champion of the world, a truly great fighter. Had a tough life.

4. Roy Jones:

   Mike Tyson said Thursday in an online press conference. Im coming to fight, and I hope hes coming to fight, and thats all you need to know. Promoters of the pay-per-view spectacle announced that Los Angeles Staples Center will be the site of the 54-year-old Tysons return to boxing on Nov. 28 for an eight-round main event against the 51-year-old Jones. Tysons last official bout was in June 2005, and the former undisputed heavyweight champion hasnt held a title since 1996. Roy Jones fought steadily through Roy Jones 40s, long after Roy Jones super middleweight and light heavyweight title reigns had ended, with his most recent bout in February 2018. Roy Jones also laughs at the idea that any time spent inside a boxing ring with Mike Tyson could ever be a mere exhibition, even though California commission officials have made it clear that Mike Tyson and Roy Jones shouldnt be attempting to seriously hurt each other during a fight with two-minute rounds. Officials say they plan to stop the bout if either fighter is cut or significantly injured. Who goes in the ring with the great, legendary Mike Tyson and thinks its an exhibition ? twelve-ounce gloves ? No headgear ? Really ? This is an exhibition ? Come on, bruh. Be real. In short, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones said everything one might expect from two cagey veterans of the fight game to promote real sporting interest in this endeavor, which came to life after the online world saw footage of Mike Tyson looking impressive while sparring earlier this year. Roy Jones eagerly accepted the opportunity for Mike Tyson highest-profile fight in a decade. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones believe theyll be able to put on a show worthy of their legends. Theyre also eager to be the latest in the growing line of athletes competing at elite levels into their 40s and beyond with improvements in sports science, nutrition and training. When I came along, at 32 years old, you were considered an old guy.

5. Dominic Breazeale:

   This was a situation where he landed the big right hand before I did, i thought I was going to come on in the later rounds. Ill be back and go for the heavyweight title again.
