Boxing gloves

Boxing gloves are not merely an accessory; they are a fundamental part of your equipment, protecting both your hands and your opponent. Crafted from durable materials such as genuine leather or high-quality PU (polyurethane), they ensure longevity and resilience during intense training sessions. Their internal structure often incorporates multi-layered foam, EVA, or gel for optimal shock absorption and comfort.

Glove sizes are measured in ounces (oz) and range from 8 oz for light training to 16 oz and above for sparring and heavier fighters. The choice depends on the athlete's weight and the intended use:

We offer gloves specifically designed for boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, and general bag work, each with a specific design tailored to the demands of the respective sport. Choose according to your needs and training style to ensure maximum effectiveness and safety.

Boxing Gloves — A Complete Buying Guide

Boxing gloves are the most crucial piece of equipment for any practitioner — they protect your hands and your training partner. The choice depends on the weight of the glove, the type of training, and the material.

Ounces (oz) — Which to choose?

Genuine Leather vs PU Leather

Genuine Leather — Durability 5+ years, higher price. PU Leather — Affordable, good for beginners. Our own line SZ Fighters offers both options — a Bulgarian brand established in 2007 with over 18 years of experience in manufacturing combat equipment.

Glove Size According to Body Weight

One of the most common questions we receive in the gym is "what size boxing gloves should I buy?". The universal rule is: start with your weight and adjust according to the type of training.

Which Brand of Boxing Gloves to Choose

On the Bulgarian market, you'll mainly find a few professional brands — SZ Fighters (Bulgarian, since 2007, tested in gyms like ABC Fight Club and Lonsdale Boxing Club), Venum, Adidas, RDX, and Twins. From 18 years of working with professional boxers and MMA fighters, we recommend SZ Fighters for quality/price ratio — genuine leather, handmade, 2-year warranty on stitching. For beginners, SZ Fighters' PU models are the most affordable start.

Care and Maintenance of Boxing Gloves

The longevity of gloves depends 80% on maintenance. After each training session, remove them from your bag and air them out — never keep them in an enclosed space. For disinfection, use an antibacterial spray once a week. Maintain genuine leather with leather balm twice a year. With this care, a PU model will last 1-2 years, and a leather one — over 5 years of active training.
