What is a Boxing Glove?
Boxing gloves are cushioned gloves that fighters wear on their hands during boxing matches and practices.
Unlike “fist-load weapons” which were designed as a lethal weapon, modern boxing gloves are non-lethal, designed to protect both the opponent’s head and the fighter’s hand during a bout.

What is the best way to buy boxing gloves?
To find the right size boxing gloves, you’ll need to measure your hand circumference. Wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your knuckles (excluding the thumb) and record the measurement in inches or centimeters. You can then use a size chart from your preferred boxing glove brand to determine the correct size.
