New policy for weight classes and missed weight

Apr 30, 2025, 10:44 AM

Weight classes exist in combat sports to promote fair competition between similarly matched opponents.

A new policy for weight classes and missed weight is now in place. The policy applies to all contestants, trainers, managers, matchmakers, promoters and contests pursuant to the Combat Sports Act 1987 (Act) and Combat Sports Regulations 2004 (Regulations).

We appreciate your attention to these important updates. As always, the safety and wellbeing of our contestants remain our top priority.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the Combat Sports Commission.
