Amateur Competition Boxing Gloves

Find amateur competition boxing gloves at Fight Co, with options for boxers preparing for sanctioned bouts and competitive events.

The right competition gloves must meet your governing body's equipment requirements, including specifications for weight, construction and approval. Whether you're buying a pair for upcoming bouts or sourcing equipment for your boxing club, choosing the correct gloves is essential.

What Makes Amateur Competition Boxing Gloves Different?

Unlike standard training or sparring gloves, amateur boxing competition gloves must meet the rules of the organisation overseeing the bout. They are designed for competitive use and may have specific requirements for padding, fit, weight and corner colours.

Competition approval matters, so don't assume that a regular boxing glove or sparring glove will be accepted. Always check the latest approved equipment list for your event before purchasing.

Choosing the Right Weight and Colour

Competition glove requirements depend on the governing body, competition category and event rules. Red and blue gloves are commonly used to distinguish the two corners, but the required weights and specifications can vary.

Before ordering, confirm the correct glove weight and colour with your coach or event organiser.

Make sure the gloves fit securely over your hand wraps and comply with the competition's equipment rules.

For everyday partner training, explore our sparring gloves. These are designed for a different purpose and should not automatically be used as competition gloves.

Competition Gloves for Boxing Clubs

Boxing clubs and coaches need to ensure their equipment meets the requirements of the shows and competitions they attend or host. Before buying multiple pairs, confirm the approved models, required weights, corner colours and availability.

You may also need other essential equipment for training and competition, including boxing hand wraps and suitable protective gear.
