heavyweight bout
Big-class boxing match
A heavyweight bout is a boxing or mixed martial arts match between fighters in the heaviest weight class—typically over 200 pounds in boxing.
The term emphasizes the fight itself rather than the division: The heavyweight bout headlined the card.
Figuratively, any major confrontation between powerful opponents: The trial was a heavyweight bout between legal titans.
