'''Flyweight''' is a class in [[boxing]] which includes fighters weighing less than 112 lb (51 kg) but above 108 lb (49 kg).
==Professional boxing==
The flyweight division was the last of boxing's eight traditional weight classes to be established. Before 1909, anyone below [[featherweight]] was considered a [[bantamweight]], regardless of how small the boxer. In 1911, the organization that eventually became the [[British Boxing Board of Control]] held a match that crowned Sid Smith as the first flyweight champion of the world. [[Jimmy Wilde]], who reigned from 1914 to 1923, was the first fighter recognized both in Britain and the United States as a flyweight champion.<ref>{{cite book
