How to Choose the Right Boxing Gloves
Training Gloves
Ideal for everyday workouts, heavy bag sessions, pad work, and fitness boxing. Most athletes choose 12 oz, 14 oz, or 16 oz gloves depending on body weight and training preference.
Sparring Gloves
For partner sparring, 16 oz gloves are the most common choice because they provide additional padding to help protect both you and your training partner.
Competition Gloves
Competition gloves are generally lighter, typically 8 oz or 10 oz, depending on the fighter's weight class and the rules of the event.
Tips for the Best Fit
-
Wear hand wraps when measuring glove fit.
-
Your hand should fit snugly without feeling tight or uncomfortable.
-
Your fingers should comfortably reach the top of the glove.
-
The wrist closure should provide firm support while allowing natural movement.
-
If you're between sizes, consider choosing the larger size for additional comfort and protection during training.
