Super bantamweight
Limit: 122 lb / 55.3 kg
A relatively young division (created by the WBC in 1976), super bantamweight (122 lb) is currently held undisputed by Naoya Inoue, who unified the four belts in 2023 in the same calendar year he had become undisputed at bantamweight. The four-Mexican brawl-pit era of Barrera–Morales–Márquez–Vázquez in the 2000s gave the division a brutal, fan-friendly reputation it still trades on.
