Boxing Gloves for Training, Sparring, or Contests
You will find many types of Boxing Gloves in Fightgear’s boxing equipment. Choosing the right gloves is crucial to avoid being turned away from a sparring session for having the wrong pair.
Sparring Gloves for Practice in the Ring
Many boxing gyms have specific rules about the size/weight of Sparring Gloves allowed. Check with your gym first, but a general rule is that boxers under 67kg can use 14oz, while those above should use 16oz.
Bag Gloves for Heavy Bag Sessions
Many boxers use the same gloves for sparring and bag work, but at Fightgear, we recommend a separate pair of Bag Gloves if your budget allows. This lets you use lighter gloves and preserves padding for your sparring partners, as bag gloves wear down faster.
Competition Gloves for Amateur Boxers
Amateur boxers usually have Competition Gloves provided at ringside, but investing in your own at Fightgear.co.uk is smart. Their front-heavy padding enhances protection and skill focus, which can feel unusual, so training with them beforehand is beneficial.
Pro Contest Gloves for Pro Boxers
Professional boxers wear lighter gloves (8oz for up to 66kg, 10oz for heavier). Choose horsehair for punchers or foam for protection. Find both types of Pro Contest Gloves at Fightgear.
Junior Gloves for Young Boxers
For young boxers, adult gloves may be too heavy. Our Junior Boxing Gloves come in 6oz and 8oz sizes, perfect for kids aged 7 or 8.
Boxing Boots and Protection to Pair with Your Gloves
Once you’ve chosen your Boxing Gloves, pair them with protective gear like Safejawz gumshields, Sting hand wraps, or groin guards from Fightgear’s boxing equipment. Check our lightweight Boxing Boots for ankle support in the ring.
