Combat Sports Gloves – The Complete Buying Guide

Boxing Gloves vs MMA Gloves

Boxing gloves usually have thicker padding at the front to protect the knuckles when punching, while MMA gloves are more compact and flexible so you can grab and clinch. Training in both disciplines? Choose an all-round MMA glove with extra padding, or keep a separate pair of boxing gloves available.

What Size & Weight (oz) Do I Need?

Glove sizes are expressed in ounces (oz). Use the table below as a guide and always try them on to make sure the gloves fit snugly but comfortably.

Material: PU or Leather?

Synthetic PU is affordable and ideal for beginners. Leather breathes better, lasts longer and moulds to your hand. For intensive use or competition level, we recommend leather gloves with triple-stitched seams.

Inner Gloves & Wraps

Give your wrists extra protection with inner gloves or traditional wraps. Wraps absorb sweat, extend the lifespan of your gloves and help prevent injuries.

Maintenance & Lifespan

• After training, leave your gloves open to air-dry, never in a closed bag.
• Use an antibacterial glove spray to help prevent odours and mould.
• Wash wraps after every use and replace them every three months.
