Flyweight world boxing rankings
112lb · 50.8kg limit · Updated 4 Sept 2026
The current flyweight world ratings from the IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO and IBO, listed side by side with the champion at the top of each column and movement shown against last month. The flyweight limit is 112lb (50.8kg). Ratings are pulled from each body’s most recent published list, and the publication date for each sits beneath the table.
The IBO column shows its top fifteen for comparison. It rates a hundred fighters at flyweight, which no other body does.

Each sanctioning body publishes its ratings on its own schedule, so the columns above are dated separately. Where a body leaves a position vacant, and the IBF routinely does at ranks 1 and 2 pending an eliminator, that is shown rather than hidden.

The flyweight limit is 112lb, which is 8 stone or 50.8kg. A fighter must make this weight at the official weigh-in, normally held the day before the bout. Missing it forfeits the right to win a title in the division, though the fight itself usually still goes ahead.
