Minimumweight, also known as Strawweight, is the lightest weight class in professional boxing. Established in 1987, it features the smallest fighters in the sport.
Minimumweights are known for their exceptional speed, technical skill, and ability to fight at a very high pace. Fighters in this division typically rely on skill, speed, and volume punching.
The Minimumweight division has produced many exciting fighters and competitive matchups. Despite being the lightest division, fights are often fast-paced and action-packed.
As the newest and lightest division in professional boxing, Minimumweight provides opportunities for smaller fighters who might not be competitive in heavier divisions.
