Weight classifications. It’s not just boxing; in wrestling and various martial arts weight is also a factor; it means they have the age/practice/maturity advantage against others in their weight class.

In most other sports, the sooner you get big and strong, the sooner you gain an advantage because weight isn’t a factor.
