Bridgerweight boxers today weigh between 200 (90.7 kg) and 224 pounds (102 kg).

This weight division was created and currently only recognized by the World Boxing Council.
Amateur weight classes also specify the minimum weight (which the same as the maximum weight of the next highest class). [1] For safety reasons, fighters cannot fight at a higher weight. This also meant that even the heaviest weight class has a limit, albeit a lower bound. The lower limit for "heavyweight" was established in 1948 at 81 kg.
