Light heavyweight division

The light heavyweight division in combat sports like boxing and mixed martial arts is for athletes weighing between approximately 168 and 175 pounds (76-79 kg). It’s a category that balances speed, power, and endurance, attracting fighters who are larger than middleweights but not as heavy as heavyweights. Competitors typically have a strong combination of technical skill and physical strength, making it an exciting and competitive division. The weight limit ensures fair competition among fighters of similar size, emphasizing skill and strategy over sheer size advantage.
