Question
What is the lightest boxing weight in the UK?

Answer
Hi Aoife,

Thanks for the question.

The lightest weight division in professional boxing is strawweight, with a maximum weight limit of 105 lbs. This applies to the UK and everywhere else.

I hope this help, Aoife!
Thanks again for writing.

Regards,
Lian
