Find the ideal boxing gloves to suit your needs — from a child’s first training session to regular training with leather gloves.

For children starting boxing

Children’s hands need gloves designed for their size, with padding that absorbs impact. The Venum Contender 02822 is a children’s boxing glove model made from eco-leather, designed for boxing training.

The multi-layer foam interior absorbs the force of impacts, while the anatomical design follows the shape of a child’s hand, helping the glove stay in place as they move.

For bag training and sparring

For training sessions that alternate between bag work and sparring, you need a glove that can do both. The Leone 1947 Military Edition GN059 gloves are made of synthetic leather with a matte PU finish and have a lining made of 90% Flex PU and 10% PU.

The thumb is stitched to the rest of the glove, and the Velcro closure secures the wrist. They are suitable for boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai, for both beginners and advanced athletes. Buyers report that the sizing runs slightly large, so it may be worth choosing one size smaller than you normally would.

For regular training

When you train often, your gloves get used every week, so the material matters. The Leone 1947 DNA Black GN220 gloves are made from genuine leather, with padding made of 50% leather and 50% polyurethane foam.

The adjustable Velcro strap secures around the wrist, and the gloves include thumb protection. Available in 10, 12, 14, and 16 oz, so you can choose the weight that suits your training.

Start by considering where and how often you’ll use them: children’s training, bag work and sparring, or regular training at the gym. In any case, check which oz size is right for your weight and training routine.
