Mens Boxing Gloves

For most men, 12oz gloves are the most versatile choice for bag work and pad sessions. Lighter men (under 65kg) may prefer 10oz, while heavier men (over 85kg) often train in 14oz for extra protection. For sparring, always use 14oz–16oz regardless of your weight. Check individual product listings for weight recommendations based on your body weight and training style.

For sparring, 14oz gloves are the minimum recommended for most men, with 16oz preferred for heavier fighters or those new to sparring. The extra weight and padding in sparring gloves protects both you and your partner. Many gyms require a minimum of 14oz for any contact work — check with your coach or gym before purchasing sparring gloves.

The best brand depends on your budget, training style and personal preference. Fairtex and Adidas are trusted by competitive fighters for their quality and durability. Fortress Boxing is a British brand popular with serious club boxers. Empire and MTG offer excellent performance at competitive price points. Cimac provides great value for beginners and regular club training. We stock all of these brands so you can find the right glove for your needs.

Boxing glove size is measured in ounces (oz) and is primarily determined by your body weight and intended use rather than hand size. Use the size guide on each product listing to match your weight to the recommended glove weight. If you are between sizes or plan to use the gloves for both training and sparring, size up for extra protection. Contact us if you need help choosing the right size.
