Super flyweight

Limit: 115 lb / 52.2 kg

The 115-pound super-flyweight division (also called junior bantamweight by the IBF) is the spiritual home of the post-2010 little-man golden age. Thailand's Khaosai Galaxy held the WBA title for 7 years (19 defences) in the 80s. In the 2010s the division was reshaped by the Roman Gonzalez–Srisaket Sor Rungvisai–Juan Francisco Estrada–Jesse Rodríguez quadrangle.
