Im 5'5, and desire boxing one day, what weight class should I be ???

Answer 1

I wouldn't answer this question typically, but people left this part out so I will. Ofcourse you didn't say your weight. But if you are of average proportion, you would be under lightweight. Now for the part nobody has touched on... AGE. I stand at 6 feet even. But when I was 14, I was 5'3" tall. If you are very young, you should not be trying to decide divisions yet. There is ALOT of training even before your first amatuer bout takes place. Think about training, because there is the possibility, you may train and spar, and realise you don't even like the sport. There are several forms of "stand up combat". I am no wimp, I am just not designed to be a boxer. You may like a good combat sport of a different dicepline. Give it a try, ALWAYS do what your trainer says, and good luck buddy

Answer 2

hey, I box for my uncle in a ymca league and i am 5'5 to and i am about 140. One thing you have to do is not lose weight but gain some and keep your muscle up with it. Dont go to much overweight because you will be matched up with other heavy boxers. Stay about 140 lbs and make sure your muscle matches or exceeds your weight

Answer 3

Whatever you feel comfortable at. Thats not really a question someone can answer for you. What weight class you fight at depends on how your built. It wouldn't be good to be too heavy at that height because the people your fighting while most likley be alot taller than you at heavier weights. That gives up alot in reach. Whatever weight you feel good at.

Answer 4

you should adapt your weight class to the weight you feel most comfortable fighting at rather than your height.
However, if you are a stick and move fighter, who relies on speed and a long reach, you should not be more than a featherweight. If you are a boxer-puncher, relying on strenght, you could be a bit heavier.

Answer 5

height doesn't matter its weight that makes the difference but 5'5" is a little small pending on your weight I would say Bantam, Fly or probably even the smallest straweight (mostly found in asian fighters).

Answer 6

106 - 140 weight class
