Super-cruiserweight

Super-cruiserweight

A Super Cruiserweight is a professional boxer who is too heavy for the Cruiserweight division and not big enough to compete well in the Heavyweight Division. It should not be confused with the Light Heavyweight division.

Super Cruiserweights weigh approximately 190lbs to 220lbs (86kg to 100kg) - although there is no general consensus on the upper and lower weight limits. This division encompasses what most governing bodies consider to be heavier Cruiserweight fighters and lighter Heavyweights. It has been introduced because of the growing number of Heavyweights who are well in excess of their division's minimum (200lbs) and the likelihood of mismatches between men who are considerably different in size, but are both 'Heavyweight'.

No major sanctioning body currently recognises this division, although the minor World Boxing Federation and International Boxing Association do have champions and produce rankings. No fighter of renown has fought for a Super-Cruiserweight title - instead, many fighters listed in 'Super-Cruiserweight' rankings work between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight, such as Cruiserweight world champion David Haye, who must lose weight to meet limits of the Cruiserweight division while his natural body weight makes him small for a modern Heavyweight.
