160-pound weight class

The 160-pound weight class refers to a category in combat sports like boxing or wrestling, where competitors must weigh no more than 160 pounds during official weigh-ins. It helps ensure fair matches between similarly sized athletes. For context, 160 pounds is roughly equivalent to 72.5 kilograms. Athletes carefully manage their weight through training and diet to stay within this limit before competitions, aiming to maximize strength and endurance while remaining within the class boundaries.
