- • Training Weight Options: Available in 14oz and 16oz, the weights most coaches recommend for bag and pad sessions.
- • Built for Bag and Pads: The horsehair fill settles into a dense, responsive pad that suits repeated impact work.

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 | 10 to 12oz |
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 is firmer and more compact than foam. You feel more of the shot through the glove, which sharpens technique and rewards clean punching. It also breaks in over time and moulds slightly to your hand.
Are horsehair gloves suitable for sparring? +
These are built for bag and pad work, not sparring. Horsehair compresses denser than modern foam, so it does not absorb impact in the way a dedicated sparring glove does. Use a foam-padded sparring glove for partner work.
Why are these only available in 14oz and 16oz? +
These weights suit the glove's purpose: regular bag and pad training. Lighter weights are typically used for speed and competition, which is not what a horsehair training glove is designed for. 14oz and 16oz give you the protection and structure needed for daily training volume.

The Cleto Reyes Professional Fight Glove is the original puncher's glove. Since 1945, the narrow knuckle box, horsehair padding, and hand-stitched cowhide construction have made it the choice of fighters who want to feel every punch land. Handcrafted in Guadalajara, Mexico, these are the gloves that built Cleto Reyes's reputation at world championship level — and they have not changed because they do not need to.
Key Features
- • Horsehair and Foam Padding: The traditional padding combination compresses on impact and returns to shape, giving a firmer, more punishing feel than foam alone.
- • Genuine Cowhide Leather: Full-grain cowhide is cut and stitched by hand in Mexico, producing a glove that breaks in to your hand and lasts.
- • Lace-Up Closure: Laces give the tightest, most consistent wrist fit available, which is why they are standard in professional fights.
- • Available in 8oz and 10oz: The two regulated contest weights used in professional boxing under most sanctioning bodies.
- • Handcrafted Construction: Each pair is built by skilled glove makers in Mexico following the same methods Cleto Reyes has used since 1945.
- • The Puncher's Glove: The narrow knuckle box concentrates impact onto a smaller surface area, which is why Cleto Reyes has been the choice of power punchers at world championship level for over 75 years. If you want to feel the difference, put these on a bag next to any foam glove.
Specifications
| Material | Genuine cowhide leather (handcrafted in Mexico) |
| Padding | Horsehair and foam combination |
| Closure | Lace-up |
| Best For | Professional fight, contest |
| Available Weights | 8oz, 10oz |
| Brand | Cleto Reyes |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do professional boxers choose Cleto Reyes? +
The horsehair padding transfers force more directly than foam, which is why fighters seeking finishing power favour them. They also fit close to the hand and break in to feel like an extension of the fist.
What is the difference between horsehair and foam padding? +
Foam absorbs and disperses impact, giving a softer, more protective feel suited to training. Horsehair is firmer and more responsive, transferring more force on impact, which is why it is the traditional choice for contest gloves.
Are these gloves approved for professional boxing? +
Yes, these are competition-grade fight gloves used in professional bouts worldwide. Always confirm specific approval with your sanctioning body before a contest, as rules vary by commission.

Built in full grain leather with a lace closure, the Tuf Wear Legend Lace Up is a training glove for boxers who want a locked-in, customised fit on the bag and pads.
Key Features
- • Lace-Up Closure: Laces give you a tighter, more tailored fit across the hand and wrist than hook-and-loop allows.
- • Full Grain Leather: Full grain leather handles repeated training sessions and breaks in around the shape of your hand.
- • Multi-Layer Foam Padding: Layered foam absorbs impact on the bag and pads without packing down quickly.
- • Wrist Support: The laced wrist holds the joint in a fixed position throughout a session, reducing movement on heavy shots.
- • Weight Options: Available in 10oz, 12oz, 14oz and 16oz to match bodyweight and training type.
- • Colour Range: Choose from black, blue, red or white.
Specifications
| Material | Full grain leather |
| Padding | Multi-layer foam |
| Closure | Lace-up |
| Best For | Training, bag work, pad work |
| Available Weights | 10oz, 12oz, 14oz, 16oz |
| Brand | Tuf Wear |
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 |
| Any weight | Intermediate / advanced | 10 to 12oz | 16oz |
Always check your gym's sparring rules before training.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of lace-up over hook and loop for training? +
Laces let you adjust tension across the whole length of the wrist, not just at one strap point. The result is a tighter, more uniform fit that many experienced boxers prefer for long training sessions. The trade-off is you need someone to tie them for you.
Are these gloves suitable for sparring? +
These are built as a training glove for bag and pad work. They can be used for light sparring at 16oz, but a dedicated sparring glove is the better choice if sparring is your main use. Check with your coach before sparring in any glove.
What is the difference between the Legend and the Legend Lace Up? +
The construction, leather and padding are the same. The only difference is the closure: the standard Legend uses hook-and-loop, this version uses laces for a more customised fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gloves suitable for beginners? +
Yes. The Cruise is built specifically for beginners and club boxers starting out. The padding and closure system are straightforward, and the price point makes them sensible for anyone new to the sport.
What weight should I choose for training? +
As a general guide: under 65kg goes for 14oz (check with your coach), 65 to 85kg suits 16oz, and 85kg and above should be in 16oz minimum. The 10oz and 12oz options are better suited to lighter bag work rather than full training sessions.
Are these gloves suitable for sparring? +
The Cruise is designed for bag and pad work rather than sparring. If you plan to spar regularly, look at a dedicated sparring glove with denser, more protective padding. Always check with your coach before sparring in any glove.

- • Premium Leather Construction: Full leather build holds its shape through the demands of fight camp and contest.
- • Lace-Up Closure: Traditional lacing gives a tight, contoured fit that meets professional contest requirements.
- • Contest Weights: Available in 8oz and 10oz to match the weight categories set by the governing body, with a 10oz XL option for larger hands.

| Padding | Speed Tilt Technology foam |
| Closure | Lace-up |
| Approval | British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) approved |
| Available Weights | 8oz, 10oz, 10ozXL |
| Brand | Adidas |
Frequently Asked Questions
What does BBBofC approved mean? +
It means the glove has been tested and approved by the British Boxing Board of Control for use in professional boxing contests in the UK. Without this approval, a glove cannot be worn in a sanctioned pro fight.
What weight do professional boxers use? +
Professional contest weights are fixed by the governing body. Boxers up to welterweight typically wear 8oz, and weights above that wear 10oz. The 10oz XL is for boxers with larger hands who need more room in the same contest weight.
What is Speed Tilt Technology? +
It is Adidas's foam padding system. The padding is angled to match the natural position of the fist at impact, rather than sitting flat across the knuckles. The result is a more direct transfer of force when you land a punch.

The Adidas ADISTAR 3.0 is Adidas's top-of-the-range professional fight glove, approved by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC). Designed in the USA and built from high-quality genuine leather with a one-piece injection mould for superior shock absorption, these are the puncher's premium fight gloves. They are not designed for training or bag work — these are built for the ring.
Key Features
- • BBBofC Approved: Officially approved by the British Boxing Board of Control for professional bouts in the UK. These are the fight gloves used at licensed professional shows.
- • Premium Leather Construction: Full leather build holds its shape through repeated rounds and stands up to the demands of elite training.
- • Injection-Moulded Foam and Horsehair Padding: The knuckle area combines a one-piece injection-moulded foam pad with a horsehair layer — not all-foam synthetic padding. The horsehair gives the compact, defined feel that power punchers prefer in a fight glove.
- • Professional Fight Weights: Available in 8oz and 10oz — the two regulated contest weights used in professional boxing. Weight is determined by the boxer's weight class and the sanctioning body's rules for the bout.
- • Hook and Loop Closure: Wide Velcro strap allows quick adjustment between rounds and a secure wrist fit when you glove up alone.
- • Range of Colourways: Available in seven finishes including classic black and white plus metallic options for squad and club identity.
Specifications
| Material | Premium leather |
| Padding | One-piece injection-moulded foam with horsehair pad (knuckle area) |
| Closure | Hook and loop (Velcro) |
| Approval | BBBofC (British Boxing Board of Control) approved |
| Available Weights | 8oz, 10oz |
| Colours | Black, White, Gold, Metallic Blue, Metallic Green, Metallic Silver, Metallic Red |
| Brand | Adidas |
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gloves BBBofC approved for professional bouts? +
Yes. The Adistar 3.0 carries the official BBBofC approval stamp, meaning it meets the specification required for licensed professional bouts in the UK. Gloves are provided ringside by the promoter — professional boxers do not bring their own gloves to a fight. Owning the Adistar 3.0 means training in the same glove used at licensed professional shows.
What weight do I need — 8oz or 10oz? +
Professional boxing uses 8oz for lighter weight classes and 10oz for heavier divisions. The specific weight required for a bout is set by the sanctioning body and agreed between both camps. Your trainer or promoter will confirm which weight applies to your contest.
Can I use these gloves for training or bag work? +
These are professional fight gloves and are not recommended for training or bag workouts. The one-piece injection mould and fight-spec construction are optimised for bout performance, not repeated bag rounds. For training, Adidas produces dedicated training gloves in the Speed Tilt and Tilt ranges.

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.
