There were now ten weight classes ranging from 54 kg/118.8 lbs to over 87 kg/191.4 lbs, with the 54 kg division being newly introduced and the two heaviest divisions being changed slightly from the last world championships. All of the bouts were fought under Full-Contact rules, and more detail can be found on the W.A.K.O. website – although the rules may have changed slightly since 1984. [2] The most notable winner was Ferdinand Mack who won his sixth W.A.K.O. gold medal (Euro and world).
