No Boxing No Life Sets

No Boxing No Life (NBNL) sparring sets put boxing gloves, headgear and protection in one matching colorway, so your whole kit arrives together and looks like it belongs together. Choose from 14 sets with lace-up gloves from 6oz to 18oz, shipped to the USA, the UK, Europe and Canada.

Shop NBNL sets by style

• Metallic sets: Metallic Red & Gold, Metallic Pink & White, Metallic Gold & Black, Metallic Blue & Black, Metallic Purple & White
• Red & black, three headgear options: Open-face headgear, Elite with face guard, Dual headgear
• Two-tone and split designs: Purple & Black, Blue & Gold, Half Black & White, Half Black & Silver
• Solid and high-visibility: Matte Black, Yellow & Black

Open-face, face guard or face bar?

• Open-face cheek protection: the widest field of vision, good for technical sparring
• Face guard (Elite): more facial cover with a light feel
• Face bar: the most protection for hard rounds and newer sparrers

The Red & Black Dual Headgear set includes both an open cheek-protection headguard and a face-bar headguard. Check each listing for exactly what is included.

Choosing the glove weight in your set

Most adults spar in 16oz gloves; boxers over about 200 lb (90 kg) often choose 18oz. Lighter weights from 6oz to 14oz suit youth boxers, pad work and bag training.

No Boxing No Life Sparring Sets FAQ

What comes in an NBNL sparring set?

Each set pairs lace-up gloves with matching headgear, and most add a matching groin protector. The Dual Headgear set swaps the groin protector for a second headguard.

Why buy a set instead of separate pieces?

You get gloves, headgear and protection in one coordinated colorway without matching shades piece by piece, and the whole kit arrives in one order.

Which NBNL set is best for a first sparring kit?

Matte Black or Purple & Black. Both hide wear, and with 16oz gloves they cover most adult sparring.

Which red and black set should I buy?

Pick the standard set for open-face headgear, the Elite for a face guard, or the Dual Headgear set if you want both styles.

How do I size the headgear?

Measure around your head just above the eyebrows. If you are between sizes, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the fit.
