Boxing — what to look for

Boxing gear decides whether you get the most out of training or end up with a needless injury. This category is for anyone serious about boxing — from the beginner putting on gloves for the first time to the experienced boxer preparing for a fight. Here you’ll find everything for the ring and the gym: gloves, hand wraps to protect your wrists and knuckles, headgear for sparring and a bag for home or club training. When choosing, consider size and purpose first — lighter gloves suit technique and speed, heavier ones protect you in hard sparring. Decide on material as well: genuine leather lasts years of demanding use, quality synthetics are more practical to start with. A beginner will appreciate versatile boxing gear that forgives mistakes, while advanced boxers go for specialised pieces made for their style. Put together your boxing kit based on how often and how hard you train.
