Welterweight is a weight class in combat sports. Originally the term "welterweight" was used only in boxing, but other combat sports like Muay Thai, taekwondo, and mixed martial arts also use it for their own weight division system to classify the opponents. In most sports that use it, welterweight is heavier than lightweight but lighter than middleweight.

Etymology

The first known instance of the term is from 1831, meaning "heavyweight horseman," later "boxer or wrestler of a certain weight" by 1896. This sense comes from earlier "welter" "heavyweight horseman or boxer" from 1804, possibly from "welt", meaning "to beat severely", from {{c.}} 15th century.[1]

Boxing

Professional boxing

A welterweight boxer's weight is greater than {{cvt|63.5|kg|lb}}, but no more than {{cvt|66.7|kg|lb}}.[2]

Henry Armstrong holds the record for the most consecutive title defenses at this division, with 19 defenses of the lineal title.
