About The Boxing Gloves

The Boxing Gloves is a leading UK retailer offering a wide selection of boxing and MMA equipment. Whether you're just getting started in the sport or need professional boxing gloves for your next fight, they provide options for every level. The comprehensive product range includes fight gloves, hook and loop boxing gloves, lace up boxing gloves, Muay Thai gloves, sparring gloves, and training gloves. Punch bags range from 2FT to 6FT, including freestanding options for home training. Training gloves are constructed from real leather or synthetic materials like polyurethane, suitable for sparring, boxing fitness classes, and punch bag training. These feature thumb locks, wrist supports, and additional padding. Sparring gloves are thicker and more comfortable, with contoured shapes, enhanced wrist support, and extra cushioning for partner work. Understanding the different weight options is crucial: 10oz and 12oz gloves are suited for bag and pad work, allowing faster punches, while 14oz and 16oz gloves provide the extra protection needed for sparring. The store also stocks MMA gloves, typically weighing between 4oz and 6oz, offering flexibility for mixed martial arts training.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight boxing gloves should I buy?

For bag and pad work, 10-12oz gloves allow faster punches. For sparring, 14-16oz gloves provide better protection. Choose based on your primary training type.

What's the difference between training and sparring gloves?

Sparring gloves are thicker with more padding and better wrist support to protect both you and your training partner. Training gloves are lighter for bag and pad work.

Can I use MMA gloves on a punch bag?

It's not recommended. MMA gloves (4-6oz) lack the padding of boxing gloves and can cause wrist and knuckle injuries when used on heavy bags.

What punch bag size should I get?

For home use, a 4FT bag suits most needs. Smaller 2-3FT bags work for limited spaces. Larger 5-6FT bags are better for gyms and serious training.

The Boxing Gloves provides everything combat sports enthusiasts need, from beginners taking their first boxing class to professional fighters preparing for competition. Quality equipment at every price point ensures safety and performance. ## Choosing the Right Gloves Understanding glove weights is essential: lighter 10-12oz gloves suit bag and pad work for speed, while heavier 14-16oz gloves provide the protection needed for sparring. MMA gloves at 4-6oz offer the flexibility mixed martial artists need. ## From Training to Competition Whether you're building a home gym with punch bags and gloves or preparing for competition with professional-grade equipment, The Boxing Gloves stocks everything from entry-level training gear to fight-night essentials.
