With a full range of both leather and synthetic Boxing gloves in a variety of different styles, colours & designs we will almost certainly have the right glove for you. There are many different options when you are looking at boxing gloves whether you prefer a tight fitted snug glove or a more comfortable looser glove, Lace up or Velcro. for competition or for sparring, we undoubtedly have one of the best selections available in the UK.

Good stuff. Beginners often need to hear this stuff. Lots of folks default to 16oz which really isn't necessary. 14oz are perfectly fine for sparring as long as folks aren't deliberately trying to take each other's heads off. A lighter glove is easier to control which makes it easier to teach a student how to strike fast while still going light, which will build muscle control, which makes it even easier to hit hard and fast.
The best video I’ve found, hands down. Finally someone who truly helped me. It’s really confusing for a beginner.
Seriously the best explanation for gloves I’ve seen or heard yet! Thank you for clearing these things up!!
Im 6,2 and 165kg, my coach used to tell me I would be better duct taping pillows round my hands 😂. Great video mate.
😂
Thanks so much for posting this -- it was immensely helpful!
Hot damn, I wish I found this channel sooner. Love the content and the reviews so far. Have my like and subscription, you're going to get this yank browsing your store now, thank you
Cheers I been looking for a good glove explanation for hours. If my new gloves don't work out I'll be calling
Hugely helpful and well-explained. Thank you Alex!
Best detailed explanation ive seen so far regarding boxing gloves
Thanks for the info. I was really close to associating weight with hand size. What’s funny is when I did check the size for the gloves and they only gave me weight. It made me do more research, and now here I am.
When he said he is 6ft3 but 95-100kilo, my brain went stupid mode for a split second.
Yaa im a regulah Aadult male 6foot3 im...

THE Best video to understand the boxing gloves sizing
Brilliantly informed vid on gloves
excellent insightful info.. very helpful.. thanks
Brilliant explanation thanks
Great video!
thanks ..this was really helpful.
Reyes Super Bag glove is what that was called. It's a training glove. That's the first type of Reyes glove that I used. I believe they call it the Hybrid training glove now, but it used to be called a Super Bag Glove. Super Bag Glove seems to no longer be used as a name by any brand, they just call them training gloves now, so it implies that they will work for both bag work and sparring.
best video I would say.
Thanks really appreciate that comment
FightstorePro amazing video. I am a Thai boxer and I love fairtex and when I box I use cleto ray. Great video.
@@FSPRO hi mate.i am looking for a pair of beginner gloves. What do u think of probox full leather club essential gloves? They are sold for about £45.
Top gear in best affordable prices
OMG this is SO helpful, thank you! I've been going mad trying to work out which size I should get, because, as you say, the online merchants link it to weight or hand size, but as I'm about 85kg and a woman, the results are either 12oz or 16oz! Also my coach said 16oz and I was worrying that if I bought those, they'd be too big for my hands, which one vendor said was the case. I just have one question - you said the smaller sizes are for pads and bags, and the bigger for sparring. I'm not sparring, just training with heavy bags. I'm guessing 16oz are also good to protect beginners if they punch hard but not accurately?
yes
i got a pair of 12oz for bag work and pads and a pair of 16s for sparring
Same. And you can always switch it up to get the benefits from 16oz heavy bagwork and the 12oz fast sparring work.
I use horse hair on bags....
Well done
In my gym 16 oz for all when its sparring. Also if you gonna throw bombs on the heavy bag always 16. Protect your hands, elbows and shoulders at all time.
Well said! Even check out some of the 18oz plus gloves available.
Good video, really good
Great enlightening video, could you provide a link to your website please?
Excellent thank you
Great video. Helped a lot. Thanks for this!
I do krav maga, and I think our sparring class is mostly kickboxing, and maybe some muay thai (we do mitt/thai pads/kicks, and few rounds of sparring). I need a different set of 16oz gloves (I think). I currently have a pair or Hayabusa Ikuza's and I keep jamming my thumb when doing mitt work. From what I've gathered in research this is a fit problem for the hand compartment. My hands are roughly 8 inches in circumference fingers spread (not sure if other measurements would help), and 175 (not lean) lbs, and I have small wrists. I'm not a professional fighter and have no intent to be (so buying $300+ Winning isn't in my budget, looking at $80-150), but I don't need "budget" gloves either. I think most people in the class are using regular boxing gloves, but I've been wondering if muay thai style wouldn't be better since we do work with kicks and grapples.
We change from gloves to mitts several times in class so ease of change is important, I've found this to be a problem with the hayabusa's.
I did try some fairtex on the other day (without wraps), the seemed very very loose on my hands, and the compartment is lightly padded compared to my hayabusa's, which the internal padding could be why they seem big. I've been looking at Boon, Title, and Rival, but not opposed to other options (and it's sad that there's no local store where I can just try gloves).
What would you recommend? (p.s. I like your video's, I'm an American though, so not sure how easy it is to buy from you)
Hayabusa Gloves promise a lot and don't deliver enough. Try the REVGEAR S3 or perhaps the Ringside or Pro box TOTR sparring in a 16
On your site I've looked at the Ringside headgear with bars and there are 4 different variety's to choose from would love to see a video on what's so different about each one
1. Pro training bar head guard
2. Revolution bar head guard
3. Neon revolution bar head guard
4. Bar headguard
They also range in prices too many thanks I think with that kind of variety in the ringside bar head guards a video would help your customers no end including my self as £150 is a lot to spend I and many others would want to get the correct bar type that suits our needs
Cheers
Hi there, huge apologies for the delay in our response. We're in the process of redoing many of our marketing channels, but back on it now! The Ringside head guards are great, but yep - there's lots of choice. To be honest, the differences are very slight. For example the Revolution has vented ear guards, but is otherwise very similar to the much cheaper Pro Training. Often prices are higher for the limited edition / bright coloured models. We like them all, but if budgets important you can't go far wrong with the basic black bar head guard: www.fightstorepro.com/brands/ringside/ringside-pro-training-bar-head-guard-black-white.html
Finally, we are in the process of doing a video on this. Stay Tuned!
Thank you, my daughter (12) recently took up MMA and needs bag and pad gloves (never knew that was a thing). We have a few gyms in the area that sell gloves, but it's nice knowing roughly what we are looking for before buying her a pair

HI Im starting in boxing i weight 110 pounds but 173 cm tall. Since boxing gyms are not opened can anyone tell me what size sparring gloves would I be required to spar with? I live in America so it might be different from Europe. I want to buy either 14oz or 16oz. I know the padding has to do a lot with the glove but lets say both are soft for sparring which one should I buy to be on the safe side? Oh and do you think 16 is to heavy for my weight? I have used 16oz on heavy bag at home and i feel fine even after 4 rounds. Thanks.
very helpful, thanks. i'm 5'0" and 49 kg, will stick with the thai brands
Bro a paper weight
I have ordered some gloves and shin guards from fight store pro and I carnt wait for them to arrive in also ordered some hand wrap
So how did it turn out?
Maciej Jerzy Malik probably good. Wraps are all the same with small differences.
As long as he bought an alright glove like everlast, Grant, Reyes or etc, he’s good lol
Glove weight doesn’t necessarily mean more padding either. It doesn’t only go for size which I agree. It all has to do with brand. A 10 oz glove could have more padding than a fairtex bgv1 16 oz
Good stuff 5-10 205 69 y/o. I have a big bag used mainly for general upper body strengthening. What size and brand would u recommend. Thank u Tim. Live in a small town where gloves aren’t available to try on
Hi,i just wanted to ask how do i know what size boxing gloves should i order from the internet ,Do i have to try some before buying them?
Im 13 and 175cm and have pretty big arms for my age, i weigh 57 kg and i have kinda skinny fingers but there long so what should i have for boxings lessons
Should Cleto Reyes 10 oz Hook and Loop and High Precision fit most guys?
A lot of times 16 oz gloves doesn’t mean necessarily more padding as with fairtex Bgv1 for example. So oz is only for weight. Not for size or padding. That depends on the brand of the glove. A 10 oz glove could have more padding than a fairtex bgv1 16 oz
what size of gloves do u recommend for a guy who weighs 180 lbs? it's just gonna be for training like a punching bag.
hybrid meadiums are 12oz??? I thought they were 14oz? No wonder I love mine so much...although my hand BARELY fits them.
Can somebody help me this is so crazy how difficult this seems to be for me. I have a size large hand and I want 12oz glove to just hit the bag with, that’s all can anybody help me out?
You should do a review of the pro max gloves you have shown, can't find any reviews anywhere!
WHo are Pro Max never heard of them?
Pro Box you mean?
I have a new set of Fairtex 16oz gloves but they are smaller than my previous 10oz gloves from Top King. They are noticibly heaver though.
Hey bro I am 6 foot 4 110 kg I also have a metal plate in my wrist I just want a glove for bag work should I get a 16 Oz glove or ?
Also should I get 100lbs 45 kg bag 4ft will that be good for me ? Please help I really need a expert help I dont wanna make any mistakes loved the vid also bro
im a begginer in boxing (only had 2 days of training) what im worried about is im gonna buy a 10oz lace up boxing gloves (Hayabusa Glory Gloves) can i use it for bag and pad work? im around 5'5 and 58 kg. i cant risk my hand getting injured on hitting the heavy bag since im still a begginer
Hey Faisal. As you may know the most common sizes of gloves are 10 oz, 12 oz, 14 oz and 16 oz. 10 oz gloves are the most popular size for bag/pad workouts while 14, 16, 18, and 20 oz gloves are used for sparring. For myself I use 12oz gloves just because its more comfortable for me. You can find a huge selection of gloves at our online store as well as many more vlog and blog posts that might answer any other questions you might have.

I need a pair of 16 oz gloves for sparring. I am 5'8'' and weigh 180 pounds. I have really small hands for a male. I purchased a set of Fairfax BGV1 and had to send back due to the hand compartment being so large. What is your recommendation for the tightest fitting 16 oz boxing gloves? Thank you.
Joey Wimsatt was that with handwraps?
Hello, the best video on the internet about boxing gloves. My weight is 85kg, would 12oz be okay for bag work?
Khaled Abdulazim go with 14
Which size is used in Olympics 52/57/60KG category
Dude, I have hands like a toddler and only need gloves for heavy bag. I've tried some junior sized gloves, but they all seem to be toys more than anything and even with hand wraps I'm scared I'll hurt my hands/wrists with them. All of the adult or "real" gloves I've tried are always too big, even with wraps. Any recommendations?
Goat Gaymer sorry this might be a little late but u can use female everlasting gloves. They work just as fine
Fairtex tight fit imo
I personally use the punch trophy getters and my hands are small
Does fairtex have a smaller wrist bit the ones I got are really long don’t like that
Watching this video after fucking up the size twice
I have a question, i am 6,1 weighin 86+ but my hands arent bigger than average, what could be the best tightiest 16 oz's gloves for me. I recently bought Cleto Reyes Lace ups, and they where really tight in the wrists.. obviously but my fingertops couldnt reach the top. Please guys and girls!! feel free to give Advice on tight 16 ozers!!!!
I am 1.70cm 48kg what do you recommend I am only sparring
got a question on boxing equipment not on gloves though. I am going to purchase a heavy bag. However, don't know which one to get. I narrowed it down to title gel heavy bag, fighting sports leather bag, rival bag or pro boxing heavy bag. so far one credible source recommended a rival. I am pretty picky on who I take advice from. There is only 3 boxing channels I really like and this is one. your opinion will be appreciated thanks
Hi there, thanks for your message. Pro Box are good bags. We sell a lot of them and indeed they provide a lot of kit to the British military, so they're doing something right! I'd also take a look at Ringside bags, which are increasingly coming to the fore. We're big fans of their 4ft bag: www.fightstorepro.com/brands/ringside.html?search_type=190
I’m 125 pounds and hitting a speed bag what size and what size for heavy bag
When I wear Everlast I cannot land punches on proper knuckles. I always contact on middle knuckles. Maybe I need an Asian brand like Fairtex. My hand just does not fit in Walmart sold brands.
I'm 5"0 and 60 kg should I go for 12 oz?
As a beginner..do you really need triple density foam for the gloves or just triple construction layers!!!..can you make a video of.whaysbyue different. Between injected molded foam and the other type of foam and padding..!
Fact is as a beginner you need the best padding you can get...More hand injuries happen in early stages of your career than later ones in general
How are the MTG Pro lace up fight gloves 10oz? Would they be the same size as the equivalent twins or Sandee?
Hi Carl, they're not dissimilar to Sandee. Decent lace-ups actually, for the price.
OK there's everything u need to know here :)
I recently bought a bag for my home so I can get more exercise. However, I am having a very tough time with gloves. I am 6'4", 268 lbs (129 kilos). The main problem I am having is the gloves being too tight around the thumb area. I have tried 14 and 16 ounce, and both are the same. I am not looking for anything professional just something that will work. Any advice?
Try different brands
So... I'm 6'7" 400lbs (181.5kg) and wear XXL size gloves (Leather, rubber, and other non boxing gloves) and am looking for a glove for work on a 200lb heavy bag... I hit pretty hard (not bragging, I honestly wouldn't want to be hit by myself) and really want a glove that has good fit, durability, velcro, and wrist support. Is there any glove that can be suggested without me going out and trying on a half dozen gloves?
For anyone with small hands like me, if you think "the guy in the vid is 6'3 and reccomended 10oz, but I'm a lot smaller" if you're a 5'2-5'9 adult, I'd still get the 10oz gloves. Online you may see 6oz (child size) and 8oz (teen size are also very small and no room for wraps. I'm 5'5 and 10 ounce are perfect for training and I have small hands. Oh and no jokes please "Take ma stong hand!"
You are almost my size. Thanks. I was looking for advice on boxing gloves size.
Thank you for that. Short people have sizing problems too 😂
which size you recommend for an 8 year old girl that muay thai, with a lot of sparring?
I’m 5’8 58 kg need a glove for sparring and bag work just basically multi purpose , my hands are pretty small what would you recommend?
Hi Zayn, it depends on your budget but there are a couple of solid multi-purpose gloves out there. The Pro Box Pro Spar is an old classic and well-priced at around £60. www.fightstorepro.com/brands/pro-box.html
The Faitrtex Mexican BGV9 is one of our favourite multi-purpose gloves, but a bit more expensive at near £100 (www.fightstorepro.com/brands/fairtex.html)
In both cases, be sure to wrap your hands well, for which it's worth considering a gel wrap like this: www.fightstorepro.com/brands/ringside.html?search_type=286
Actually, it is very rare that 12oz gloves will be used for sparring. Most gyms will suggest 16oz gloves for sparring and maybe 14oz depending on the padding. Winning gloves for example have more padding, so gyms will allow you to spar in 14oz Winnings. 12oz gloves might be used in some gyms who don't care as much or take it as serious, but yeah generally 16oz is the standard for sparring gloves.
bigger padding doesn't secure you from getting concussions. It's the opposite. the better the padding the more your opponent is willing to throw harder punches because their hands takes no damage from it. so bigger pads lead to a higher risk of getting a concussion. barehand boxing is the safest form of boxing. yeah you might get bruises and all but thats nothing compared to getting blows to the head with immense forces and taking chronic brain damages from it.
@@MrHan-is1ko Where did I say that gloves are for protection from concussions?
I’m a female, 5 feet 2 inch amateur boxer. With a hand circumference of 7.7, I bought 10 oz gloves for heavy bag workout. My bag has more sand than foam. Is 10 oz ok or do I need 12 oz gloves?
Hi Mehak, obviously you'll get more hand speed with the 10oz over the 12oz. Comes down to protection more than anything here; sounds like a pretty solid bag face you're hitting there, so a 12oz might be the sound choice for protection purposes.
I just bought some 16oz gloves, which actually weigh 20oz. Manufacturer’s tell me it’s just additional padding that adds the extra and the size is right fit my weight, 80Kg
My use is just heavy bag in fitness gym. I’m too old for boxing now
Your advice please
Great video by the way
Out of interest, what brand are your gloves? In truth glove weights can be a little off, even with the big brands but to be 4oz out is too much! You should challenge that. 16oz would be about right for your purposes though.
@@FSPRO Thank you. They are RDX gloves. I did challenge it and was told, they are 16 oz but they add extra padding which brings the weight up. Bit of a dumb answer. Anyway, I have been using them now, so too late to do anything about them. They do seem ok - very nice gloves
@@ponymoore6140 yep, that's not really acceptable.
@@FSPRO thanks, too late now though i

Vlad Inc. i can help u pick a brand if u need help
Just got everlast 14oz. I think they're a size bigger (I'm 186cm).

I have small hands , 4’11 and 77 lbs and I was thorn between the Venum Impact 10oz vs Venum Contender 2.0 10 oz. Which one would you suggest ? Beginner and I will be doing sparring and bag/pad workout. Or should I choose 8oz ?
If you're doing mostly heavy bag work would a 16oz glove protect your hands better than a smaller size glove? I'm about 5'7'' and 66kg.
No!
@@Travel-Coupleyes it would
What if you order online
What weight should I use for sparring no head gear. I weight 145 lbs and I’m 5”10
At least 14, could go for 16 for sure too
I'm Western, don't weight much, maybe 150lbs, quite big hands. Need bag, pad and maybe sparring. Guy told me 12 or 14oz. I'd like to buy Boon gloves from Thailand. Should I "size up"? Thanks.
if you're sparring head towards the heavier weight glove - to protect you and the person you're sparring with. Lighter the glove the more you can work your hand speed though. 14oz is often the best all-rounder!
FightstorePro great thanks
Manufacturer need to start sizing for different hand shapes. I have stubby fingers
Plz help me what is the difference between a big OZ and small oz
Noah1 bigger glove = more padding and weight
its nice
would 16oz thai gloves work for someone with big hands?
The oz refers to the padding, not necessarily the size of the glove. More about getting a brand / glove that's a bit more spacious and accommodating of a larger hand. Feel free to give us a call to discuss - 0191 435 3624
how come fight store pro don't stock grants boxing gloves
Grant simply can't manage enough production and truth is they are not really that interested in large scale production for retail which makes consistency with selling them nigh on impossible. because we aim to give great service we would love to sell Grant but its currently not a great avenue. Another point is brands such as Ringside and Revgear are now producing gloves which are close to Grant and Reyes Quality at under half the price. Cleto Reyes became almost unsellable after the Brexit Prize raises of over 20%. Reyes used to rule the top end market but now brands as mentioned have caught them up in terms of performance and quality. They last same amount of time and many athletes are coming to us saying they actually prefer the more modern designs. We say the fighters choice and we really mean it
FightstorePro I was about to call bs until I realized you’re in the UK (or somewhere close to be affected by Brexit).
Sucks man. Hope you’re still selling well and open
Which exact model these Twins gloves are? I have big hand I need that size. Thanks in advance
Hey @markomaric3737. We hear this a lot about hand size. We will get Alex to touch on this in a dedicated video! but to answer your question - They are the Twins BGLL1 Sparring Gloves but given Twins Specials current circumstances, the brand is a struggle to get in the UK and USA at the moment.
Im looking to buy Twins BG-N i heard it's a good glove. I dont do sparring or matches , I just train with them on heavy bag and train with pads and on eachothers gloves. I prefer speed alot. Right now im using 10oz everlast gloves but they are hurting my hands. (not sure if its the size or that there just cheap gloves) Probably the combination of those 2. Now im not sure If i should go for 12 or 14oz... I'm 80kg and 1.75m long. So can I go for 12? or will they just be to small and wont fit me? And for my use should i get Adidas hybrid 200 or twins bgn
Hi there, it does sound like the (cheap) gloves here that are causing the damage to your hands. Notorious for that! in 12oz you'll get more hand speed, with 14oz a bit more padding / protection. Personally I'd go Twins, the Adidas 200 (and 300) are very decent gloves.
What should I get for mainly bag but sometimes sparring, I’m 183cm ca 70kilos
ThriorMore 14 ounces
Lemme know if u need help with a brand
Everlasting
great video man but i am still confused. I am staring pad work and bag work to lose weight. I am 100kg....so what size is good for me?
Hi Mark, the size of glove you opt for is really more dependent on the intended use. If you're just on the bags and pads and really want to work your hand speed then the lower end - 12oz - might be better. It's a lighter glove so you'll be able to generate more hand speed! For sparring, coaches / clubs etc. might request you use a 16oz to protect the person you're sparring with and of course your own hands. Justin
thanks for the reply ...I just bought Fairtex 14oz today....hope they work for both. I am gonna give it a shot with em..what do you think?
You should be good, but let us know how you go.
sure ..give me a couple of weeks or a month. I am definitely gonna get back to you on this. anyways thanks man
