The STING Junior Unisex Mettle Shorts 2.0 are designed for young boxers who train and compete seriously. Built from 100% polyester interlock fabric with STING's diamond weave construction, they deliver genuine climate control and freedom of movement — not just the look of competition shorts. As the official equipment supplier to World Boxing, STING produces ringwear that meets amateur competition standards, and the Mettle 2.0 carries that same attention to performance into the junior category.
Construction & Materials
The Mettle 2.0 uses 100% polyester interlock fabric with a diamond weave pattern that reduces weight and improves airflow during training and competition rounds. The interlock construction resists pilling and holds its shape through repeated washing, which matters when shorts are in weekly use at a club. An extra-wide waistband runs the full circumference, providing support and stability without digging in during movement. The athletic cut is tailored to allow full hip rotation and leg drive — essential for junior boxers developing their footwork and punch mechanics.
Who Is This For?
The Mettle 2.0 is built for junior boxers from beginner club level through to amateur competition. The unisex cut and available colour options — including red and blue — make them suitable for club training, inter-club shows, and licensed amateur bouts. Coaches looking for consistent ringwear across a junior squad will find the fit and construction reliable across sizes. Whether a young boxer is stepping into their first competitive bout or training three nights a week at their local club, these shorts cover both without compromise.
Are STING Mettle 2.0 shorts suitable for competition?
Yes. The Mettle 2.0 is part of STING's junior amateur boxing uniform range and is designed to meet the demands of competitive bouts. The red and blue colour options align with standard amateur boxing ringwear requirements. STING is the official equipment supplier to World Boxing, which underpins the competition credentials of their ringwear.
What material are the STING Junior Mettle shorts made from?
The Mettle 2.0 shorts are made from 100% polyester interlock fabric using a diamond weave construction. This combination reduces the overall weight of the shorts, improves breathability, and wicks moisture away during training and competition. The interlock weave also helps the shorts retain their shape through regular washing.
Do STING junior boxing shorts fit both boys and girls?
Yes. The Mettle 2.0 is a unisex design, sized specifically for juniors. The athletic cut is intended to provide freedom of movement regardless of build, and the extra-wide waistband offers a secure, adjustable fit across a range of body types.
