Understanding Amateur Boxing Gloves
Amateur boxing gloves follow regulated standards designed to keep competition fair and impact levels consistent across weight classes. Although athletes do not compete in their own gloves — as official gloves are supplied ringside — training with amateur-spec gloves helps boxers prepare for competition conditions, correct punching form and scoring accuracy.
Competition Weight Requirements
Amateur gloves are assigned by the boxer’s weight:
- Under 80kg → 10oz
- 80kg and above → 12oz
Using the correct glove size in training helps athletes adapt to the glove feel used on bout day.
Red and Blue Corner Colours
Amateur bouts use colour-coded equipment:
- Red corner → Red gloves
- Blue corner → Blue gloves
Owning both colours allows boxers to train realistically and warm up without confusion on competition day.
Padding Characteristics
Amateur gloves typically use:
- High-compression foam
- Even knuckle padding distribution
- Stable wrist structures
- Balanced shock absorption
They produce more uniform scoring impact than general training gloves, making them ideal for technical drills and light sparring where gym rules allow.
Training vs Competition Use
Because official gloves are provided at sanctioned events, amateur gloves are primarily used for:
- Technical pad work
- Competition simulation
- Warm-ups before bouts
- Light sparring (if permitted by the coach)
They should not replace soft sparring gloves for full-contact rounds.
