According to the German website Boxen1, the WBA may follow in the footsteps of the WBC and begin classifying boxers in the bridger category with a weight limit of 101.6 kg.

The first World Boxing Association champion in the bridger weight could be the winner of the fight between Evgeniy Tishchenko (12-1, 7 KOs) and Leon Hart (22-5-1, 13 KOs). The fight will take place on December 9 in Dubai.

Currently, the bridger category exists only within the WBC, and its champion since April of this year is Lukasz Ruzanski (15-0, 14 KOs).
