Boxing Gloves

If you only buy one piece of kit, make it a good pair of gloves. This page brings every pair we stock into one place: Winning, Cleto Reyes, No Boxing No Life, plus custom boxing gloves you design yourself.

Most pairs come in 6oz to 18oz, with a choice of lace-up or velcro. Laces give a tighter, pro-style fit around the wrist, but you'll need someone to tie you in. Velcro is quicker and the easier pick if you train alone.

Which weight should I get?

For sparring, most adults wear 16oz. Lighter boxers sometimes drop to 14oz, and heavyweights often go to 18oz to protect their partners. For bag work and pads, 10oz to 14oz feels faster. If you're unsure, 16oz covers almost everything.

Common questions

Are 16oz gloves good for beginners?

Yes. 16oz is the safest all-round choice for new boxers because it works for sparring, bag work and pads.

Lace-up or velcro?

Lace-up gives the closest fit, while velcro is easier to put on by yourself. Both closures use the same padding.

Hook and loop or lace-up gloves?
