Light-Flyweight world boxing rankings
108lb · 48.99kg limit · Updated 4 Sept 2026
The current light-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 light-flyweight limit is 108lb (48.99kg). 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 light-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.

Light-Flyweight division limit
The light-flyweight limit is 108lb, which is 7 stone 10lb or 48.99kg. 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.
