Products & Sizing

What size boxing gloves should I buy?

Glove size depends on your weight and intended use:

  • 10oz - Pad work and bag work (lighter fighters under 65kg)
  • 12oz - Bag work and light sparring
  • 14oz - Sparring (fighters 65-80kg)
  • 16oz - Sparring (fighters over 80kg or beginners wanting extra protection)

What are the best boxing gloves for beginners?

For beginners, we recommend a 12oz or 14oz glove that offers a balance of protection and versatility. Look for multi-layer foam padding, a secure wrist strap, and durable synthetic or genuine leather construction. Our Boxing Gloves collection includes options specifically suited to beginners, offering the protection and comfort needed when starting out.

How do I choose boxing gloves?

Choosing the right boxing gloves depends on three things: your weight, your training type, and your budget.

  • Weight: Lighter fighters (under 65kg) typically use 10-12oz. Heavier fighters or those sparring regularly should use 14-16oz.
  • Training type: Bag and pad work requires less padding than sparring. If you plan to spar, always go heavier.
  • Construction: Look for multi-layer foam, a secure velcro or lace-up closure, and breathable lining to keep gloves fresh.

Are your boxing gloves suitable for beginners?

Yes! Our gloves are designed for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced fighters. We recommend starting with a 12oz or 14oz glove for versatility.
