Kids Boxing Gloves

Kids boxing gloves are sized by weight in ounces (oz). As a general guide: 4oz for ages 4–6, 6oz for ages 6–9, 8oz for ages 9–12, and 10oz for older juniors and lighter teenagers. The right size also depends on your child's hand size and the type of training they are doing. Check individual product listings for age and weight recommendations, or contact us for advice.

Our kids boxing gloves are suitable for children from approximately 4 years old upwards, starting at 4oz for the youngest beginners. We stock junior sizes through to 10oz, covering primary and secondary school age children. For older juniors or lighter teenagers who have outgrown junior sizes, please check our mens and womens boxing gloves ranges for the best fit.

No — adult boxing gloves are too large and heavy for children and will not provide the correct fit or protection for young hands. Kids boxing gloves are specifically designed for smaller hands with appropriate padding and wrist support for junior training. Using correctly sized gloves is important for both safety and developing good technique from an early age.

Yes — for any contact sparring, children should use gloves with adequate padding, typically 8oz–10oz depending on their age and size. Many junior boxing clubs require a minimum glove weight for sparring sessions. Check with your child's coach or club for their specific sparring requirements before purchasing. Never allow children to spar without appropriate protective equipment including a gum shield and head guard.
