The Top 6 Best Boxing Gloves on the Market: A Comprehensive Guide
If you are just getting started boxing, you might be wondering, what boxing glove size am I?
Boxing gloves come in different sizes, and choosing the right size is important for both your safety and performance in the ring.
Wearing the wrong size gloves can result in injury or discomfort, which can hinder your ability to train effectively.
In this article, we’ll go over some tips on how to size your boxing gloves with some expert recommendations from pro boxing champion, Jonathan Chicas:
How to size your gloves
The first thing you need to consider when choosing boxing gloves is the weight of the gloves.
The weight of the gloves is measured in ounces and ranges from 8 oz to 20 oz. The weight of the gloves you choose depends on your body weight and the type of training you will be doing.
If you are a beginner, I recommended to start with gloves that are 12 oz to 16 oz in weight.
Next, you need to consider the size of the gloves.
It is also important to consider the type of training you will be doing.
If you are doing bag work or sparring, you may need gloves with more padding and protection. If you are doing pad work or shadowboxing, you may want gloves that are lighter and more flexible.
Compared to bag boxing gloves or sparring gloves, professional boxing gloves are designed to be lighter in weight with a thinner layer of padding.
This allows for the full impact of each punch to be felt by the opponent. Professional boxing gloves are typically available in 8oz or 10oz sizes for both men and women. Additionally, heavyweight fighters with larger hands may prefer to use 10oz XL gloves for a more comfortable fit.

Everlast gloves are the most popular gloves on the market.
They sell them at a lot of sports stores but you have to be careful because the ones they sell are cheap and in my opinion, not good gloves to hit with.
It’s best to go online to the official Everlast website and buy the gloves that are a little pricier than the ones they sell at the sports store.
They are good beginner gloves.
Shop Everlast Gloves.
6. Hayabusa
I have come across these gloves being sold on Amazon and had the chance to try a pair at the gym and I came to like them, however, despite finding them to be of good quality, their relatively high price point may be a drawback.

Gloves from Ringside and Title are affordable options that are suitable for punching, bag work, and scoring.
