Bridgerweight is a relatively new division created by the WBC in 2020 to bridge the gap between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight. The division was named after six-year-old Bridger Walker, who saved his sister from a dog attack.
Bridgerweight fighters are typically too large for Cruiserweight but smaller than traditional Heavyweights. This division allows fighters in this weight range to compete for world titles without facing the size disadvantage of fighting much larger heavyweights.
The WBC and WBA recognized Bridgerweight from 2020 to 2026. The WBA eliminated the division effective June 30, 2026, while the WBC still recognizes it.
The creation of Bridgerweight addresses a long-standing gap in boxing's weight class structure, providing opportunities for fighters who fall between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight.
