Fighter Divisions (weight classes)
The following is a breakdown of available weight classes for IKF Full-Contact event divisions. We consider breaking divisions down further into Fighter Classes should the situation call for it. To learn more about Fighter Classes, please click here.
Tournament divisions are created when a fighter registers within the initial 30-days of event registration. Meaning, if you register within the first thirty days, you’ve set a division in the tournament.
The following is a list of IKF weight classes:
Catch Weights
Example: Light Welterweight fighter at 140lbs and a Welterweight at 144lbs fight.
The IKF looks for the most narrow weight spread, which is always in the lower weight class of the two. For Light Welterweight, the weight spread is 5lbs, whereas in the Welterweight class it’s 7lbs, it goes to a 5 lb. spread. A fight can only happen inside the limits of the weight class for the lightest fighter. For this example, (Light Welterweight at 140lbs and a Welterweight at 144lbs) this would be OK as a catch weight. If the Light Welterweight fighter was 138lbs and the Welterweight at 144lbs, that 6lb differential would not be allowed.
