cruiserweight
Between light-heavyweight, heavyweight
Cruiserweight is a weight class in boxing and other combat sports, falling between light heavyweight and heavyweight—typically around 175 to 200 pounds, though exact limits vary by organization.
The term also applies to fighters competing in this division: The cruiserweight champion defended his title.
The class was created to give smaller heavyweights competitive opportunities against similarly sized opponents.
