Which Weight Should I Choose?
Use this guide to match glove weight to your training type and experience level.
| Bodyweight | Experience | Bags & Pads |
|---|---|---|
| Under 65kg | Beginner | 14oz |
| Over 65kg | Beginner | 14oz or 16oz |
| Any weight | Intermediate / advanced | 12 to 14oz |
These gloves are designed for bag and pad work. For sparring, use a dedicated foam-padded sparring glove.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does horsehair padding feel like compared to foam? +
Horsehair feels firmer and more compact. It gives sharper feedback on impact, so you feel exactly where the punch is landing. Foam absorbs more of the shock, while horsehair transmits it back to your hand.
Are horsehair gloves suitable for sparring? +
These are built for bag and pad work, not sparring. Horsehair compresses less than modern foam, which means less protection for your training partner. Use a dedicated sparring glove for partner work.
How do I care for horsehair gloves? +
Wipe the leather down after each session and let the gloves air out fully before storing them. Avoid leaving them in a sealed bag, as trapped moisture breaks down both the leather and the padding. Stored properly, the horsehair holds its shape for years.

Full grain leather bag mitts built for heavy bag and speed bag work, the Pro Box Leather Bag Mitts give you genuine leather construction at an honest price.
Key Features
- • Full Grain Leather: Real leather construction that breaks in with use and holds up to repeated bag sessions.
- • Hand-Sized Fit: Sized Small, Medium and Large by hand size, giving a closer fit than oz-based bag gloves.
- • Compact Foam Padding: Enough padding to protect your knuckles on the bag without adding bulk that slows your hands down.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Quick on, quick off, with a secure wrap that stays put through a full bag round.
- • Pro Box Heritage: Pro Box is a long-standing UK boxing brand with deep roots in British gyms.
- • Bag and Speed Ball Ready: Built for heavy bag and speed bag work where lighter, more responsive hand protection is needed.
Specifications
| Material | Full grain leather |
| Padding | Compact foam padding |
| Closure | Hook and loop (Velcro) |
| Sizing | Small, Medium, Large |
| Best For | Heavy bag, speed bag |
| Brand | Pro Box |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size? +
Measure around your dominant hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Small fits smaller hands, Medium suits most adult male hands, and Large is for bigger hands. Hand wraps underneath are recommended, so allow a little room.
Are these suitable for pad work? +
These are designed for bag and speed ball work, not pads. The padding is compact rather than shock-absorbing, so they won't protect your hands or your coach's pads the way a proper bag glove or training glove will.
How long do leather bag mitts last? +
With regular hand wraps and air drying after each session, full grain leather mitts can last years of consistent training. Sweat is the main killer, so wrap your hands every time and let them dry out between sessions.

Built for club boxers who need a dependable sparring glove without spending premium money, the Champ Spar gets the basics right. Multi-layer foam padding, a secure Velcro closure, and weights from 10oz to 16oz to match your training partner.
Key Features
- • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: Protects your hands and your partner during sparring and absorbs impact across pad and bag work.
- • Full Weight Range: Available in 10oz, 12oz, 14oz and 16oz so you can match the glove to your bodyweight and training purpose.
- • Synthetic Leather Construction: Wipes down easily after sessions and keeps the price accessible for club-level boxers.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Quick to fasten on your own and locks the glove around the wrist for a stable fit.
- • Versatile Training Use: Handles sparring, pad work and bag work, so one pair covers most of what a club boxer does in a week.
- • Pro Box Build Quality: From a brand that has been kitting out UK boxing clubs for decades, with a glove shape that suits orthodox club training.
Specifications
| Material | Synthetic leather |
| Padding | Multi-layer foam |
| Closure | Hook and loop (Velcro) |
| Best For | Sparring, pad work, bag work |
| Available Weights | 10oz, 12oz, 14oz, 16oz |
| Brand | Pro Box |
Which Weight Should I Choose?
Glove weight for sparring is set by your body weight and your coach's rules. 16oz is the UK standard for adults.
| Bodyweight | Experience | Sparring |
|---|---|---|
| Under 65kg | All levels | 16oz (14oz at some gyms — gym and coach dependent) |
| Over 65kg | All levels | 16oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gloves suitable for regular sparring? +
Yes. The multi-layer foam padding offers solid protection for club-level sparring at a sensible price. If you spar multiple times a week at a high intensity, a leather glove will last you longer.
What weight should I choose for sparring? +
As a general guide: under 65kg use 14oz (check with your coach), and over 65kg use 16oz. Many clubs require 16oz for all sparring regardless of weight, so always check your gym's rules first.
How do these compare to Pro Box's leather sparring gloves? +
The Champ Spar uses synthetic leather rather than full leather, which brings the price down significantly. The padding structure is similar, but leather gloves break in differently and tend to last longer under heavy use. For boxers training a couple of times a week, the Champ Spar does the job.

Built for boxers who want to develop shoulder endurance and punch power, the Hit N Move 24oz Conditioning Gloves add real load to your bag work. Train heavy, and your standard gloves start to feel sharper and faster.
Key Features
- • 24oz Weight: The added weight forces your shoulders, arms and core to work harder on every punch, building endurance and power over time.
- • Full Grain Leather: Holds up to repeated heavy bag sessions and breaks in without softening too quickly.
- • High-Density Foam Padding: Protects the knuckles and hands during the harder impacts that come with heavier gloves.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Quick to fit and adjust between rounds, with a secure wrist wrap when you cinch it down.
- • Built for the Heavy Bag: Constructed to absorb the repeated impact of bag work without breaking down at the seams or padding.
- • Hit N Move Build Quality: Made to the same standard as the rest of the Hit N Move training range, with no shortcuts on materials or stitching.
Specifications
| Material | Full grain leather |
| Padding | High-density foam |
| Closure | Hook and loop (Velcro) |
| Weight | 24oz |
| Best For | Conditioning, heavy bag |
| Brand | Hit N Move |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of training with 24oz gloves? +
The extra weight builds shoulder endurance, arm stamina and punch power. After a few rounds in 24oz, your regular bag or sparring gloves feel noticeably lighter and faster. It is a tool for conditioning, not a replacement for your everyday training gloves.
Can I use these for sparring? +
No. These are conditioning gloves built for the heavy bag. The padding and weight are not designed for partner work, and sparring with 24oz gloves puts unnecessary strain on your shoulders and your partner.
How often should I train with conditioning gloves? +
Once or twice a week is usually enough. Heavier gloves load the shoulders hard, so you need recovery time between sessions. Use them for specific conditioning rounds rather than every bag workout.

Key Features
- • Full Grain Leather: Real hide construction holds its shape and lasts longer than synthetic alternatives at this price point.
- • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: Layered foam absorbs impact across the knuckles to protect your hands and your sparring partner.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Quick to fasten and remove on your own, useful when you are rotating partners or moving between bag and pad work.
- • Four Weight Options: Available in 10oz, 12oz, 14oz and 16oz so you can match the glove to your bodyweight and the work you are doing.
- • Sparring and Pad Ready: Built for the two jobs most club boxers need a glove to do, with enough padding for partner work and enough structure for pads.
- • Four Colour Options: Black, Blue, Red and White to match club colours or personal preference.

Which Weight Should I Choose?
Glove weight for sparring is set by your body weight and your coach's rules. 16oz is the UK standard for adults.
| Bodyweight | Experience | Sparring |
|---|---|---|
| Under 65kg | All levels | 16oz (14oz at some gyms — gym and coach dependent) |
| Over 65kg | All levels | 16oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gloves genuine leather? +
Yes. The Legend is made from full grain leather, not PU or synthetic. That is what makes it stand out at this price point.
What weight should I use for sparring? +
As a general guide: under 65kg use 14oz (coach dependent), 65 to 85kg use 16oz, and over 85kg should use 16oz minimum. Always defer to your coach if they have set a gym standard.
What is the difference between the Legend and the Legend Lace Up? +
The closure system. This version uses hook and loop, so you can put them on and take them off yourself. The lace up version offers a tighter, more custom wrist fit but needs a second person to tie them.

The Tuf Wear Falcon is the BBBofC-approved contest glove used in professional bouts sanctioned under British Boxing Board of Control rules. Built to the specification required for licensed professional boxing in the UK, with full grain leather, lace-up closure, and contest-spec multi-layer foam padding.
Key Features
- • BBBofC Approved: Sanctioned for use in professional contests held under British Boxing Board of Control rules.
- • Full Grain Leather: Premium hide construction holds its shape under repeated heavy contact.
- • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: Layered foam delivers the impact protection required for professional bouts.
- • Lace-Up Closure: Laces give the secure, contoured fit demanded for contest use.
- • Contest Weight Options: Available in 8oz and 10oz to match the weight class regulations set by the governing body.
- • Tuf Wear Heritage: Made by a long-established UK brand with a track record in professional boxing.
Specifications
| Material | Full grain leather |
| Padding | Multi-layer foam |
| Closure | Lace-up |
| Approval | British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) approved |
| Available Weights | 8oz, 10oz |
| Brand | Tuf Wear |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does BBBofC approved mean? +
It means the glove meets the specification required by the British Boxing Board of Control for use in professional contests sanctioned under their rules. The BBBofC sets the glove standard for licensed professional boxing in the UK, and the Falcon is built to that standard.
What weight do professional boxers use? +
Professional contest weights are set by the governing body and depend on the weight class. 8oz is used in lower divisions and 10oz in higher divisions. Your promoter or commission will confirm the required weight for your bout.
Why do professional contest gloves use lace-up closures? +
Lace-up closures are required for professional contests because they allow the glove to be fitted precisely to the boxer's hand and wrist, then sealed and inspected by the official before the bout. This ensures a consistent, tamper-evident fit that hook and loop closures cannot provide.

| Available Weights | 10oz, 12oz |

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IBA licensed mean for amateur boxing in the UK? +
IBA licensed means the glove is built to the specification used at World Boxing and England Boxing sanctioned amateur events. In the UK, gloves are provided ringside by the organiser — boxers do not bring their own. Owning a glove built to that standard gives you the most accurate training preparation for what will be used on show day.
What is the difference between 10oz and 12oz? +
In amateur boxing, glove weight is set by the boxer's weight category — lighter classes typically use 10oz and heavier classes use 12oz. For training, your coach will advise which weight suits your current level and body weight.
Why are competition gloves available in red and blue only? +
Red and blue are the standard corner colours required by World Boxing and England Boxing for all sanctioned amateur bouts. The colours allow officials, judges, and coaches to identify each boxer clearly throughout the contest.

Built for boxers who spend serious time on the bag and pads, the Cactus Speed Tilt 350 Pro is Adidas's mid-range training glove with angled foam that matches your natural fist position on impact.
Key Features
- • Speed Tilt Technology: The foam sits at an angle that aligns with the fist's natural position at the moment of impact, giving you a more stable strike.
- • Sustainable Cactus Leather: Made from cactus plants grown in Mexico — a carbon-negative, vegan leather that requires no watering and holds up to regular bag and pad sessions without breaking down quickly.
- • Mid-Range Pro Construction: Sits above the Tilt 200 in build quality, with better padding density and finish for boxers training consistently.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Standard Velcro wrist strap lets you get the gloves on and off without help between rounds.
- • Three Training Weights: Available in 12oz, 14oz and 16oz so you can match the glove to your bodyweight and training style.
- • Two Colourways: Choose from Black and White or Black and Gold, both keeping the clean Adidas look in the gym.
Specifications
| Material | Sustainable cactus leather |
| Padding | Speed Tilt Technology foam |
| Closure | Hook and loop (Velcro) |
| Best For | Bag work, pad work, training |
| Available Weights | 12oz, 14oz, 16oz |

Which Weight Should I Choose?
Use this guide to match glove weight to your training type and experience level.
| Bodyweight | Experience | Bags & Pads | Sparring |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 65kg | Beginner | 14oz | 16oz (14oz at some gyms — gym and coach dependent) |
| Over 65kg | Beginner | 14oz or 16oz | 16oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Speed Tilt Technology? +
It's Adidas's name for the angled foam construction inside the glove. The padding is set at an angle that matches the natural position of your fist when it lands a punch. The result is better impact alignment and a more solid feel through the knuckles.
Are these gloves suitable for sparring? +
Yes. The 350 Pro handles bag, pads, and sparring. For sparring, go 16oz — the Speed Tilt foam provides solid knuckle protection and the cactus leather shell holds up well under contact. If you are sparring regularly at high intensity, a dedicated sparring glove with softer padding will be kinder on your partner.
What is the difference between the Tilt 350 and the Tilt 200? +
The Tilt 200 is Adidas's entry-level Speed Tilt glove — lighter construction, PU shell, suited to beginners and lighter training loads. The 350 Pro sits above it with the cactus leather outer, denser foam, and a build that holds up to consistent daily training.

What is The Noble Art brand? +

Are these suitable for beginners? +
Yes, but they sit at the premium end of the market. A beginner who is committed to training will get years out of them, but if you are unsure whether boxing is for you, a cheaper glove makes more sense to start.
How do these compare to standard bag gloves? +

| Closure | Lace-up |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Safetec padding system? +
Safetec is Cleto Reyes's enhanced foam padding designed to spread impact more evenly across the knuckle area. The aim is to reduce the risk of cuts and facial injuries to the opponent during a fight. The hand still feels the punch, but the contact surface is softer than a standard fight glove.
Are these gloves approved for professional boxing? +
Yes. The Safetec is used in sanctioned professional bouts worldwide. Approval for a specific fight is always down to the governing body and commission overseeing the contest, so check with your promoter before fight night.
How do these compare to standard Cleto Reyes fight gloves? +
The build, leather, and lace-up closure are the same as the standard Cleto Reyes fight glove. The difference is the Safetec padding, which is engineered to be safer on the receiving end. Many fighters and commissions prefer them for that reason.

The SF-H version uses Rival's Super Fibrous Horsehair blend over a foam core, offering a softer, more cushioned strike. Both are competition gloves, the choice comes down to feel and preference.

Built for elite fighters chasing hand speed and shoulder endurance, the Compact 12 carries 12oz of weight inside an 8oz profile. It is a conditioning tool, not a sparring glove.
Key Features
- • 12oz Weight, 8oz Profile: You train with the load of a 12oz glove and the compact feel of an 8oz, building speed and endurance at the same time.
- • High-Density Compact Foam: Dense padding holds the weight in a smaller package, keeping the glove tight to the hand for bag and pad work.
- • Full Grain Leather: Stands up to repeated conditioning sessions and breaks in cleanly over time.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Strap up solo and adjust the wrist tension between rounds without help.
- • Conditioning-Focused Design: Engineered for bag work, speed drills and shoulder endurance rounds rather than partner sparring.
- • Used by Elite Fighters: Trusted in camp by world-level boxers including David Benavidez.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a compact 12oz glove? +
You get the weighted resistance of a 12oz glove in the compact shape of an 8oz. This loads the shoulders during long rounds and develops hand speed, so when you switch back to lighter gloves your hands feel faster.
Can I use these for sparring? +
No. The Compact 12 is a conditioning glove for bag work, pads and speed training. The compact padding profile is not built to protect a sparring partner.
Who uses the Compact 12 in their training? +
The Compact 12 is used by fighters who want to build hand speed and shoulder endurance through overload training. Working rounds on the bag in a heavier, compact glove loads the muscles differently to a standard training glove. When you switch back to lighter gloves, your hands feel faster and your shoulders recover quicker.

Built by a specialist UK brand for serious training, the Elite MX is a premium leather glove for bag work, pad work, and daily rounds in the gym. The horsehair foam blend gives a more responsive feel than standard foam padding.

- • Premium Leather Construction: Full leather shell holds its shape through heavy training and lasts longer than synthetic alternatives.
- • Fist Clench Grip Technology: A shaped palm bar encourages a proper closed fist, keeping your hand in a natural punching position.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: A wide Velcro strap lets you tighten the wrist quickly between rounds without a second pair of hands.
- • Four Weight Options: Available in 10oz, 12oz, 14oz, and 16oz so you can match the glove to your bodyweight and training type.
- • Specialist UK Brand: Just Boxing builds gear specifically for boxing, not general martial arts, so the shape and feel are tuned for the sport.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the horsehair foam blend? +
It combines traditional horsehair fibres with modern foam. Horsehair is denser and more responsive than pure foam, giving a firmer, more authentic feel, while the foam adds shock absorption and helps the padding hold its shape.
What is the difference between horsehair and foam padding? +
Foam padding is softer and more forgiving — better for sparring and general training. Horsehair is denser and more responsive, giving a firmer feel through the knuckles on impact. The Elite MX blends both: the horsehair gives the punch feedback and feel of a traditional glove, while the foam adds protection and helps the padding hold its shape over time.
What is fist clench grip technology? +
A contoured grip bar inside the palm that your fingers wrap around naturally. It encourages a properly closed fist on impact, which improves punch structure and reduces the chance of your hand opening up during long sessions.

Built for professional fight night, the RFX-Guerrero Pro SF-H is a horsehair-padded contest glove for boxers who want sharper feedback on every punch. Handcrafted in premium full grain leather and laced for a true fight fit.
Key Features
- • SF-H Dual-Compound Padding: Firm foam paired with horsehair gives a denser, more responsive feel than foam alone.
- • Horsehair Core: Horsehair compresses on impact and rebounds, delivering the sharper punch feedback fighters look for in a contest glove.
- • 15-Degree Angled Lace Track: Rival's patented lace track sets the hand at a natural fighting angle for a tighter, more aligned fist.
- • Premium Full Grain Leather: Handcrafted leather construction holds its shape through fight camp and contest use.
- • Lace-Up Closure: Full-length laces lock the wrist and hand in place with no shifting during exchanges.
- • Contest Weights: Available in 8oz and 10oz to meet professional bout regulations.
Specifications

| Padding | SF-H dual-compound system (firm foam + horsehair) |
| Closure | Lace-up |
| Best For | Professional fight, contest |
| Available Weights | 8oz, 10oz |
| Brand | Rival Boxing |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the SF-H and HDE-F padding systems? +
SF-H combines firm foam with horsehair for a denser, more traditional fight glove feel. HDE-F uses a layered foam construction designed to disperse impact more evenly. SF-H is firmer and more responsive, HDE-F is more uniform across the knuckle.
Why do some fighters prefer horsehair for fight gloves? +
Horsehair packs tighter than foam and gives a sharper, more concentrated punch feel. Many professionals say it lets them feel their shots land with more clarity. It also tends to break in firmer rather than softer over time.
Are these gloves approved for professional boxing? +
The RFX-Guerrero Pro is built to professional contest specification and is used in sanctioned bouts. Final approval rests with the governing body or commission overseeing your fight, so always confirm with your promoter or sanctioning body before contest night.

- • Handcrafted Cowhide Leather: Premium leather construction that holds its shape and breaks in cleanly over time.
- • Bag-Specific Configuration: Padding and shape are set up for repeated heavy bag and pad work rather than competition.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Velcro wrist strap lets you get in and out of the gloves quickly between rounds.
- • Available in 8oz and 10oz: Two weight options to suit your preference for bag and pad work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Guerrero-V and the Guerrero fight gloves? +
The Guerrero is a competition fight glove with lace closure and a configuration set up for fights. The Guerrero-V uses the same HDE-F foam and leather construction but is built for bag and pad work, with a hook and loop closure for ease of use in training.
Are these suitable for sparring? +
No. These are bag gloves, with padding configured for heavy bag and pad work. For sparring you need a dedicated sparring glove with softer, more protective padding for your partner.
How do I choose between 8oz and 10oz? +
8oz gives you a lighter, faster feel on the bag and is closer to fight glove weight. 10oz adds a little more padding and weight, which some boxers prefer for longer sessions or to build conditioning. Choose based on what you want from your bag work.

Lace-Up vs Velcro Boxing Gloves
Velcro (hook-and-loop) boxing gloves are the practical choice for most training sessions. You can put them on and remove them independently between rounds — ideal for bag work, pad sessions, and boxing classes. Most beginners start with Velcro for this reason.
Lace-up boxing gloves offer a tighter, more locked-in fit around the wrist. They are preferred by many fighters for sparring and competition, but require a training partner or coach to fasten them. If your primary focus is partner work, browse our full range of sparring gloves — many are available in both closure types.
Premium Brands and Construction
Rival Boxing Gloves are engineered in Canada with a focus on ergonomic wrist support and advanced synthetic materials built to withstand heavy daily use. Cleto Reyes Boxing Gloves offer traditional Mexican craftsmanship — premium cowhide or goatskin leather with layered latex padding that delivers exceptional feedback on impact.
Sting Boxing Gloves are World Boxing-approved, built to the same standard as the gloves used at amateur level. Hit N Move Boxing Gloves bring modern innovation to the gym, with proprietary padding structures designed for balanced weight distribution and extended comfort across long training sessions.
