Today we’re going to touch on a topic that is often underestimated by many novice boxers – choosing the right gloves.
Many of you may not realise how important it is to choose the right size gloves, to suit your needs or training goals.
Global Boxing is happy to share with you some tips on how to choose the perfect gloves for your boxing activity.
- First Steps – Learn the Sizing System
To begin with, it is important to understand the sizing system for boxing gloves. These sizes are given in ounces (oz) and the choice depends mainly on the weight of the user and the type of training they plan to do.
- For Beginners – Comfort and Protection at the forefront
For those taking their first steps on the boxing path, comfort and protection are key at this stage. When choosing gloves, it is advisable to go for those that provide adequate cushioning and fit without restricting movement too much.
Glove sizes 8 oz to 12 oz will be suitable here. They will allow your skills to develop freely.
- Recreational Boxing – Comfort and Durability
If you box for relaxation and recreation, it is worth opting for gloves that will provide comfort during long training sessions.
Gloves in sizes 10 oz to 14 oz represent, in this case, the ideal compromise between comfort and durability.
- Professional Challenges – Support and Appropriate Protection
For advanced boxers, training becomes not only a passion, but also a serious challenge. It is therefore worth choosing gloves that offer support and protection at the highest level.
Gloves in sizes 12 oz to 16 oz are the standard here, providing comfort and reassurance during any training session.
- Sparring – Partnership and Safety
When sparring, safety becomes a priority, both for you and your partner, so it is worth choosing larger gloves.
The 14 oz to 18 oz gloves will provide adequate cushioning and protection from injury.
Choosing the right gloves is a key factor for quality, training efficiency and safety in the ring. Remember that your choice of gloves should be tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
