The STING Elasticised Hand Wraps deliver dependable wrist stability and knuckle protection across boxing training, sparring, and amateur competition. Available in 3m and 4.5m lengths, these wraps suit a range of hand sizes and wrapping styles. As a brand trusted across the amateur boxing circuit, Sting produces hand wraps that hold firm through heavy sessions without losing their stretch or structure. Whether you are buying for yourself or stocking up a club, these wraps offer consistent performance at either length.
Construction & Materials
Constructed from an elasticised fabric blend, the STING hand wraps conform to the contours of the hand and wrist, maintaining tension without cutting off circulation. The elasticity ensures the wrap stays secure across knuckles, wrist, and thumb attachment points throughout a full session. A hook-and-loop thumb loop keeps the wrap anchored at the start of application, and a Velcro fastening secures the end once wrapped. The material is designed to withstand repeated washing without significant shrinkage or loss of stretch, making them practical for regular club use.
Who Is This For?
The 3m length suits juniors, fighters with smaller hands, or those who prefer a straightforward wrapping method focused on basic wrist support. The 4.5m option is better suited to adult boxers with larger hands, those who wrap with extra knuckle passes, or anyone who wants full wrist and hand coverage comparable to what many coaches recommend for bag work and sparring. Both lengths work across skill levels — from beginners learning how to wrap hands for boxing through to experienced amateurs competing at club level who need reliable boxing wrist support every session.

The Sting Competition Light Groin Guard is designed for boxers who need reliable protection without sacrificing movement. Built around a handcrafted, pre-curved mould and a durable SLV3 outer skin, it offers an increased cross-sectional protective profile in a slimline, lightweight shell. As the official equipment supplier to World Boxing, Sting engineers competition kit to strict performance standards — this groin guard reflects that pedigree from the construction outward.
Construction & Materials
The Competition Light Groin Guard uses Sting's SLV3 outer skin, a durable material chosen for its performance under competition conditions. The inner mould is handcrafted and pre-curved to follow natural body contours, providing an increased cross-sectional protective profile without adding unnecessary bulk. Elasticated leg straps keep the guard firmly in position throughout rounds, eliminating shift during movement. The slimline construction prioritises agility — the guard stays close to the body rather than sitting proud, reducing interference with footwork and lateral movement.
Who Is This For?
The Sting Competition Light Groin Guard suits amateur and competitive boxers who need protection that meets competition standards without restricting movement in the ring. If you train regularly on the bags and pads and step into the ring for amateur bouts, this guard is built for that exact use case. The elasticated leg strap system and lightweight mould make it equally practical for sparring sessions where comfort over extended rounds matters. Sting groin guard sizing queries are common — the guard is available in standard sizing, so check the Sting size guide before ordering if you are between sizes.

Construction & Materials
The Mettle Singlet 2.0 is made from 100% polyester interlock — a fabric chosen for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to wear under repeated training use.

The STING Women's Kinetic Chest Protector is built specifically for female boxers — not adapted from a unisex design, but engineered from the ground up for female anatomy. As the official equipment supplier to World Boxing and a recognised presence at the Olympics, STING understands what female competitors actually need: contoured protective panels, a body-hugging racerback shape, and materials that hold up through training and competition alike. Whether you train regularly at a club or compete at amateur level, this is the chest guard built for the demands of real boxing.
Construction & Materials
The Kinetic uses moulded cups with lightweight impact-absorbing foam padding, shaped to follow the contours of the upper body rather than sitting flat against it. The racerback design keeps the protector stable during movement, while thick straps distribute weight evenly and prevent shifting mid-round. The outer fabric uses a breathable, interlocking weave that wicks sweat and dries quickly — key for multiple training sessions or back-to-back competition bouts. The sleek, second-skin fit means the protector moves with the body rather than against it.
Who Is This For?
The STING Women's Kinetic Chest Protector suits female boxers at every level — from those training at a club for the first time to experienced amateurs competing under World Boxing rules. It is the right choice for sparring sessions where chest protection is required, for technical pad work, and for competition use. Female boxers do wear chest protection in amateur bouts, and the Kinetic meets those demands. It also works across other combat sports where a female chest protector is required, including kickboxing and martial arts. Lightweight fighters and heavier competitors alike benefit from the contoured fit and stable racerback construction.

Competition Gloves and Hand Wraps
Selecting the right amateur boxing gloves is one of the most important decisions you will make before stepping into the ring. Competition gloves must meet specific weight and construction standards set by World Boxing, and using approved gloves is non-negotiable for sanctioned bouts. Our range includes gloves in 10oz and 12oz configurations, designed to deliver precision striking while meeting the exact specifications required on fight night.
Hand wraps sit underneath your gloves and play a critical role in protecting the small bones and joints in your hands and wrists. For amateur competition, cotton wraps of a regulation length are typically required. Whether you are preparing for your first bout or building out a full amateur boxing starter kit, pairing durable wraps with approved gloves gives you a solid foundation.
Headgear and Protective Gear
An amateur boxing headguard is essential protective gear for many competition categories. World Boxing regulations determine when headgear is mandatory, and requirements can differ between age groups and genders. Our headguards are built with high-density foam and secure fastening systems to absorb impact without restricting your field of vision during exchanges.
Beyond headgear, amateur boxing protective gear includes groin guards and mouthguards, both of which are compulsory for competition. Female fighters also require chest protectors. Every piece of protective equipment in our collection is engineered for a secure fit and professional-level performance, so you can focus entirely on your opponent.
Boots and Clothing Requirements
Amateur competition demands specific clothing. An amateur boxing vest and shorts in the correct colour must be worn, and many sanctioning bodies require that these garments conform to set design standards. Our vests and shorts are constructed from lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow full range of movement and keep you cool under the ring lights.
Boxing boots are equally important. A quality pair of boots gives you the grip and ankle support needed to move with confidence on the canvas. We stock competition-ready boots that combine a low-profile sole for pivoting with durable upper materials that hold the ankle firmly in place throughout every round.
Preparing for Your First Competition
If you are new to the sport and assembling your first set of amateur boxing gear, the process can feel overwhelming. Start with the essentials required by your governing body: approved gloves, wraps, a headguard if applicable, a mouthguard, groin guard, and the correct vest, shorts and boots. Having all of your club boxing equipment ready well before fight week lets you train in exactly what you will wear on the night.
Preparation goes beyond kit selection. Familiarise yourself with the weigh-in process, glove checks and rules specific to your competition tier. When your equipment meets every regulation and fits like a second skin, you enter the ring with the confidence to perform at your best. Our team is on hand to help you choose the right amateur competition boxing equipment for your weight class and experience level..
