Boxing

[edit]

The first gloved world title fight in this division was fought betweenGeorge Dixon and Nunc Wallace on June 27, 1890, with Dixon winning and thus becoming the inaugural world bantamweight champion. At the time, the limit for this weight class was 110 pounds. In 1910, however, the British settled on a limit of 118.[2]

From 2018 to 2019, an eight-man tournament called theWorld Boxing Super Series was held to determine the best bantamweight in the world. The tournament was won byNaoya Inoue, who defeatedNonito Donaire in the final.

On December 13, 2022, Naoya Inoue became the first undisputed champion of the division in the four-belt era.
