How do boxers stay in a weight class?

Do they not lift weights or what? I don't understand how you can lift weight, and do everything else required regularly but keep weight.

Ever heard of calories or water weight? I hope you are aware that many official weigh ins for fights especially title fights are from 24-36 hours before the fight, how else could some fighters who weigh in very dehydrated and weight drained gain close to 30 pounds/2 stone?

I box and have never lifted weights. Many other fighters don't bother with weights either.

Diet n cardio. U can lose weight but increase muscle mass at the same time

Careful about their diet.
