bantam

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'weight of a cocky little' is the first definition.
'bantam' can be an answer for 'little' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'weight of a cocky' bit.

'boxer?' is the second definition.
(bantamweight is a weight class in boxing)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bantam that I've seen before include "Boxing weight or domestic fowl" , "Little clucker" , "Supplier of eggs" , "Aggressive person" , "A cock; one small, aggressive" .)
