Amateur boxing weighs in
on the day

This is the thing that changes everything else, and it is the opposite of what most weight-cutting advice assumes.

  • The weigh-in is hours before you box, not the day before. The rule book puts domestic weigh-ins one hour before boxing starts. At championships it is three hours, recommended, for the first weigh-in, and one hour, required, for later rounds. There is no night of rehydration to hide behind, so whatever you take off has to be weight you can box at an hour later.
  • Your category has a floor as well as a ceiling. At the general weigh-in the rule book requires that your weight does not exceed the maximum of your category nor fall below the minimum. At daily weigh-ins in later rounds only the maximum is controlled. So the lightest category you can make is a band you have to land inside, not a target to undercut.
  • The marked categories are not on the Performance Pathway. The championship documents mark them and do not explain what the designation means for a boxer who enters one. They are shown here exactly as marked and nothing is inferred from it.
  • Schools, Junior and Youth are under-18 competitions. Categories are listed for them because a category is a fact. No cut timeline is produced, because a weight-loss plan for a growing boxer is a matter for a clinician and a coach who knows them, not a web page.
