Here is our post on the boxing glove brands. We made this comprehensive, unbiased post of all the most popular boxing brands and gloves out there to help your find your next favorite pair of gloves – so let’s get to it!
Best Boxing Glove Brands – Our Top Rankings
- Best Overall: Byakko
- Best Budget Boxing Gloves: Venum Challenger 2.0
- Best for Heavy Bag: Ringside
- Best for Sparring:Rival RS1 2.0
- Best Wrist Support: Hayabusa T3
1. Byakko
PROS AND CONS |
+ Affordable |
+ Solid padding |
+ Well ventilated |
– Can be tight fit for some hands |
Byakko Boxing Gloves are my number one recommendation, especially for beginners.
As a beginner, doing mostly bag work and other types of training you’re not going to find another pair of gloves at this price range with this quality.
These are easily comparably with gloves in the $100+ range. I would also rank them above other common, affordable boxing gloves like those from Everlast, Title, and Sanabul.
While these may not be as popular as other brands, they have some solid padding and excellent ventilation, and I predict them growing in popularity over the next couple years.
2. Ring to Cage C17
PROS AND CONS |
+ Soft and comfortable inner liner |
+Fingers line up comfortably in glove |
+ Padding is very durable |
– May be a little bulky for some |
-Thumb compartment may not offer as much protection as other gloves |
– Velcro may not last as long as padding |
As you may or may not know these Ring to Cage C17 gloves are meant to be knock offs of Winning gloves. Winning gloves are extremely reputable but come at a pretty high price point especially for beginners.
I honestly found these C17 gloves pretty comparable to my Winning MS-200-B gloves. So if you’re a beginner and don’t want to spend $300+ on boxing gloves these gloves from Ring to Cage are one of my top recommendations.
3. RDX
PROS AND CONS |
+ Great starter gloves |
+ Affordable |
– A little bulky |
-Padding may be limited for some |
These RDX gloves are Muay Thai gloves, but I’ve used them in my pure boxing training with no problem. Plus they are pretty decent for the price. However, with Muay Thai gloves there’s usually a concern with lack of padding/wrist support so if you’re concerned with wrist support, I always recommend gloves from Hayabusa.
If you train boxing and are looking to one day transition to Muay Thai these are my top recommendation.
4. Hayabusa T3 Boxing Gloves
PROS AND CONS |
+ Top of the line wrist support |
+ Thick and great padding |
– Pricey |
– Can be too stiff for some |
The Hayabusa T3 Boxing Gloves are also one of my favorites. For beginners you may not have the best punching technique so you want to make sure that your hands and wrists are protected.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I hit the bag at the wrong angle and my wrists paid for it. So for any beginner you’re not going to find a glove with better wrist support that these from Hayabusa.
5. Xmartial
Xmartial gear shines for their standout and slick designs.
While not as popular as other gloves, these are a decent option for beginners and a solid all around glove. Plus they have some decent wrist support with a hook-and-loop design.
These gloves do everything well and doesn’t have any standout flaws. I’d rank it up there with gloves from Title at a similar price range with better designs.
6. Cleto Reyes
PROS AND CONS |
+ Great for training and bag work |
+ Genuine leather |
+ Easy to clean (don’t retain moisture) |
– Not ideal for sparring |
-Not a lot of padding (known as puncher’s gloves) |
– Require a break in period |
-Provide quite a bit of feedback in the knuckle area compared to your average glove |
– Expensive |
The Cleto Reyes is one of the biggest names in boxing gloves. They are up there in terms of price and popularity next to Winnings, Grant, and Onx.
These gloves are my current go to for training and bag work, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend them for sparring because they seriously sting to get tagged with.
If you’re looking for a higher end glove these one’s from Cleto Reyes definitely should be up for consideration.
7. Rival RB1 2.0
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very comfortable |
+ Thick padding |
+ Fair price |
+Good wrist support |
+ Shorter cuff |
– Take a good amount of time to break in |
I’d probably consider these gloves from Rival on par with gloves from Cleto Reyes at a more affordable price point.
They are probably the most comfortable gloves I’ve ever trained in. If there’s one downside is that they run small and were a bit difficult to take on and off.
Please note that these gloves are specifically designed for bag work and punch mitt use and are not intended for sparring.
8. Top Kings
PROS AND CONS |
+ Ideal for small hands |
+ Quick break in |
+ Great wrist support* |
+ Fair price |
– Smaller sizing |
I am thoroughly impressed by the outstanding design and performance of the Top King Leather Gloves.
These are another glove made primarily for Muay Thai, but I have no issues with using them in my boxing classes. They have great wrist support which is often rare in Muay Thai gloves.
Although it fits best for small hands, these gloves provide excellent wrist support and padding.
If you’re looking to spend less on a somewhat comparable glove I’d go with Twins.
9. Twins
PROS AND CONS |
+ Designed specifically for sparring |
+ Great color and design options |
+ Comfortable |
-Weaker wrist support (common in Muay Thai gloves) |
– Some have issues with tight fit (not great for those with long fingers) |
Twins Boxing Training Sparring Gloves are an overall decent pair of gloves for boxing (even though they are made for Muay Thai).
These gloves are an excellent choice because they offer durability, comfort, and a fair price. While some people mention tight hand wraps, I found them snug. Plus these are great for sparring.
The only thing lack may be wrist support so if you want a glove with more wrist support I’d recommend going with Top Kings or Hayabusa.
10. Title 16 oz
PROS AND CONS |
+ Durable |
+ Great leather |
+ Fair price |
– Long time to break-in |
– Sizing problems |
Another mid range pair of solid boxing gloves, he Title Classic Leather Elastic Training Gloves 2.0 are tighter fitting but still a solid entry boxing glove.
These should definitely be considered over gloves from Everlast, and I’d put them up there with Hayabusa.
However, if you’re looking for better options, I’d recommend checking out Rival or Twins (for similar price range but, in my opinion, better quality).
11. Fairtex BGV1
PROS AND CONS |
+ Fair price |
+ Durable |
+ Genuine leather |
+ Easy break in |
-Forces your fingers to curve down (in a constant closed fist) |
– Not enough wrist support for some (can go for lace up models*) |
– May have too much hand room |
The Fairtex BGV1 gloves are a personal favorite. Yes, these are made for Muay Thai,
Generally, when using Muay Thai gloves for boxing, you may find them too stiff, roomy, and not offering great wrist support.
For me, they fit my hand nicely. However, I know some people, especially beginners, may find wrist support lacking.
If you are concerned with wrist support I would go for a lace up model (lace up will always provide more support than velcro).
Finally, if you find the BGV1’s too spacious but like everything else about the glove, I recommend checking out their BGV19
12. Venum Challenger
PROS AND CONS |
+ Affordable |
+ Comfortable |
+ Great leather |
+ Fair price |
– Not enough wrist support |
– Padding can be better |
Venum Challenger 2.0 Boxing Gloves is a decent entry level glove for beginners diving into their training journey – especially if they would like to eventually train kickboxing and Muay Thai as well.
I know Venum gear sometimes gets some heat for not being less durable and more expensive than other brands, but one of my closest (and toughest) training partners recommends Venum gloves and has used them for years.
13. Winning MS600B
PROS AND CONS |
+ Amazing fit (most natural feeling gloves I’ve ever used) |
+ Ideal padding (thicker on knuckles/softer on outside) |
– Not for beginners |
– Very expensive |
Winning Boxing Gloves are the top of line when it comes to premium boxing gloves, but expect the price point to be up there as well.
At +$300, I wouldn’t recommend a pair of these to a beginner or someone who is still testing out boxing and striking.
However, if you’re serious about boxing and plan to do it for a long time these are the holy grail of boxing gloves in my opinion.
If you’re a seasoned boxer, I’m sure you’ve already heard of Winning boxing gloves.
If you want a more affordable options I’d check out the C17 gloves by Ring to Cage (these were aimed to be a knock off of Winning gloves at a more affordable price).
14. Superior
Superior Boxing is a company based out of the UK which offer some decent gear at a mid range price. These are another pair of gloves meant to be similar to Winnings at a more affordable price.
If you prefer a Japanese style glove with a wider/flatter thumb (similar to Muay Thai gloves), these are a decent option and are great for bag work and light sparring.
15. Yokkao
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very comfortable for bag work |
+ Breathable |
+ Many great designs |
– Pricey |
– Can be tight fit for some hands |
YOKKAO Boxing Gloves are made for Muay Thai – if I had to pick Yokkao are some of the best if not the best Muay Thai gloves out there.
The fit will feel similar to other Muay Thai gloves like Fairtex and Twins.
I bought these Yokkao gloves for Muay Thai, but they feel great for heavy bag boxing training too with some standout padding (which is rare with Muay Thai gloves).
16. Ringside
PROS AND CONS |
+ Easy to clean |
+ Soft and comfortable padding |
+ Fair price |
– Lacks a bit in wrist support |
– Can be tight fit for some hands |
– Very long break in period |
Ringside gloves are great for sparring and mitts. They feel like they are lighter and let me pop off combinations pretty quickly.
These are a good option (they are not the high end gloves like Winning or Cleto Reyes) but are solid.
17. Grant
Grant Boxing Gloves offer an incredible range on their website, featuring Velcro (Puncher’s) Gloves and laced options. These products are carefully made using the best materials, giving them a sense of high quality and stylishness.
These gloves have been worn by legendary athletes like Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson, and Sugar Ray Leonard.
18. 1v1
These gloves are up there in terms of cost and premium quality along with Winning and Cleto Reyes.
I’ve found 1v1 to be more compact and somewhat front heavy than gloves from Winning, but also found the hand compartment to be the tightest of the three.
These gloves are crafted using high-quality Italian leather and dense foam, ensuring comfort and long-lasting toughness. So if you’re looking to drop some serious money these are a good option.
19. Top Boxer
The TopBoxer Boxing Gloves provide excellent shock absorption and wrist protection. The hand compartment may run a bit short for those with longer fingers.
I’ve used the Win1 gloves, and they are great for bag work, but they really shine for sparring. These are pretty comparable to Winning gloves in size and fit.
20. Adidas Speed
PROS AND CONS |
+ Good for sparring (not the best for heavy bag work) |
+ Soft leather and padding |
– Leather isn’t very durable |
– Pricey |
– Some reviews says problem stitching in some areas |
While I tend to avoid gear from big brands, these gloves from Adidas are pretty decent.
At a higher end price point, I don’t know if it has enough for me to rank it up there with other gloves that sit around $200+. I would also note that the quality is a bit less than those from Winning.
In terms of fit, these fit similar to Ringside IMF gloves but probably smaller than Twins gloves.
21. Trideer
PROS AND CONS |
+ Great padding |
+ Good wrist support |
+ Came with a storage bag |
– Single color option |
– Not the most comfortable interior |
– Strongly recommend using wraps with these |
The Trideer Pro Grade Boxing Gloves have some decent padding and are great for heavy bag work.
The one thing I would note is that the interior of the glove feels a bit rough so I would always recommend using wraps with these.
22. Boon
TheseBoon Boxing Gloves are another glove made for Muay Thai, but can definitely be used for boxing.
They are great for smaller hands (similar sizing to Top King) and have a longer cuff for more wrist support. Plus it has a grip bar which is more prominent and similar to traditional boxing gloves.
Other Boxing Gloves to Be Aware Of:
1. Superare
PROS AND CONS |
+ Comfortable |
+ Slick designs |
– Not much wrist support |
– Not very durable |
– Some have issues with small sizing |
– A big over priced |
Another Muay Thai glove that’s pretty popular are these from Superare. My training partner who owns a pair said that initial break-in period was difficult, but that they definitely became more comfortable over time.
However, he said these really weren’t the most durable gloves he’s every used and at their price range I’d probably go with a more affordable option like those from Cleto Reyes or Ring to Cage.
2. FIGHTR
PROS AND CONS |
+ Affordable |
+ Good padding |
– Small hand room (small sizing) |
– Not recommended for sparring |
These gloves from FIGHTR are some of the most popular on Amazon.
For the price they are a pretty good deal.
In terms of quality, I feel that FIGHTR ir pretty comparable to Venum. While won’t be the top of the line gloves, they are cheap and affordable and may be a good go to pair for beginners.
3. GoldBJJ
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very Affordable |
+ Breathable |
+ Come with hand wraps |
– Limited color options |
– Light padding |
Gold BJJ Foundation Boxing Gloves are another mid range boxing glove to consider if you’re a beginner.
It seems that Gold BJJ is aiming for the boxing beginner demographic and including a pair of hand wraps with the gloves.
Although a few users have mentioned that the padding could be thick enough, it still provides sufficient support for most average workouts.
4. Sanabul
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very affordable |
+ Decent padding |
– Lacks a bit in wrist support |
-May not be the most comfortable |
– Small sizing |
Sanabul Essential Gel Boxing Gloves are probably the most heavily reviewed boxing glove on Amazon likely due to the very affordable price point.
If I had to compare these gloves to another brand, I’d say that they are a cheaper and more affordable version of Fairtex gloves.
The padding infused with gel is designed to absorb impacts effectively, providing maximum protection and allowing you to concentrate on your punches without any concerns about experiencing hand pain.
5. Everlast
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very Affordable |
+ Good padding |
+ Well ventilated (odor protection) |
– Lacks a bit in wrist support |
– Stitching is not that good |
-Not very durable |
While I’m not a big fan of Everlast, if you really want to go with a pair from them I’d strongly recommend Everlast Power Lock gloves.
Again, these gloves, like those from Sanabul, are also very affordable. While buying these or Sanabul gloves may save you a bit of money, I’d probably still recommend other gloves for beginners like those from Ring to Cage.
The biggest con with these Everlast gloves are likely their lack of wrist support. The padding isn’t bag (except there is no real padding on the thumb). While if I had to pick their biggest pro is that they are don’t hold a funk or odor like other gloves.
6. Hawk
PROS AND CONS |
+ Affordable |
+ Good for heavy bag |
+ Good padding |
+ Waterproof lining |
– Not ideal for sparring |
– Can be too stiff for some |
Another very affordable pair of boxing gloves are these Hawk Sports Boxing Gloves. I’d probably consider these on the same level as those from Everalst – in fact, I’d probably recommend them over Everlast if I had to pick between the two.
Generally, while affordable boxing gloves are great, they usually fall short when it comes to:
- quality of materials used
- durability
- comfort
However, I haven’t seen any of those factors falling short with these Hawk gloves. I bought these for my wife for her fitness class and she hasn’t had any complaints.
If you’re taking boxing focused classes with intense bag work and sparring these may not be the best for you.
7. Onx
The ONX makes premium boxing gloves usually at the $300 dollar mark. While not for everyone due to the price point, I’d say these are definitely high quality with Winning (Onx padding feels a bit more absorbent and less pillow-like when compared to Winning gloves).
However, I’d probably still go with Winning since I prefer more protection when training.
The glove has both laced-up and velcro closures and solid wrist protection.
8. Fly
Another very high end boxing glove, Fly Boxing Gloves average at the $400 mark.
These are very high quality and perfect for sparring and due to them using lace ups offer some pretty great wrist support.
9. Engage
Engage E-Series E-400 Gloves have some slick designs and fall at about mid-range in terms of price and quality. These gloves are a solid option for beginners. They’re reliable and efficient.
If there’s one con, I’d say that their hand compartment is pretty wide which may be an issue for some depending on preference.
10. Fiving
PROS AND CONS |
+ Extremely affordable |
+ Breathable |
+ Includes grip bar |
– Limited color options |
– Not very durable |
The Fiving Pro Boxing Gloves are probably the most affordable boxing glove in this post.
If you’re taking a fitness class or aren’t sure about boxing yet, these may be an option for you.
The biggest pro is probably the widened wristband which makes them easy to put on and take off.
11. Liberlupus
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very Affordable |
+ Great wrist support |
– Padding can be better |
– Can be too stiff for some |
Liberlupus boxing gloves are another very popular glove on amazon with nearly 8 thousand reviews as of this writing.
I’m not really a fan of cheaper gloves. I just find the fit and feel uncomfortable with many. Also, while the padding is fine, I feel like it could be better.
If I was to recommend a pair over these, it would probably be those from RDX.
12. R-6 from Jayefo
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very Affordable |
+ Sufficient padding |
+ Comfortable |
– Hard break-in |
– Limited color options |
The R-6 Boxing Gloves from Jayefo offer a decent fit and solid wrist support at a very affordable price.
These are another pair of beginner gloves for you to consider.
While they may need time to break in, they eventually become comfortable. They also have some decent padding which is rare for cheaper gloves.
13. Anthem
PROS AND CONS |
+ Very Affordable |
+ Great leather |
+ Sufficient padding |
+ Good thumb protection |
– Not that durable |
– Shallow finger compartment |
– Small sizing |
While these gloves from Anthem Athletics may not have the same level of durability as other brands, they offer a luxurious feel thanks to their use of 100% genuine buffalo leather.
If they have one major con, it would be the shallow finger compartment.
14. Fighting Sports
PROS AND CONS |
+ Fair price |
+ Great leather |
+ Good wrist support |
+ Sufficient padding |
– Not that durable |
– Small sizing |
The Fighting Boxing Gloves are a bit more expense than other gloves recently mentioned but they have the quality to match.
For there price range, they’re not bad, but definitely feel like they are better quality than Sanabul or Fiving.
Best Boxing Glove Brands – Key Takeaways and Tips
- For pure training and bag gloves you really don’t need to invest in a very expensive pair (and can go with anywhere from 12 oz-16 oz gloves, however, I prefer 12 oz for heavy bag)
- Sparring gloves is where you should spend more money on higher quality gloves (I recommend 14 oz-1 6oz gloves for sparring)
- If you want to save money can go with a mid level brand for sparring and another pair around a the lower mid level for bag work
- Or can go with a single pair of 16 oz gloves from any of the brands below
- If I had to pick some of the best boxing glove brands for beginners they would be:
- If you’re worried about real leather vs synthetic leather in terms of quality, I wouldn’t be – synthetic leather is now just as good as real leather if not better
- In terms of wrist support lace up gloves will always offer more wrist support than velcro.
- Finally, in terms of sizing, if you are a beginner and only want to buy one pair of gloves I’d recommend going with a pair of 16 oz gloves from a brands mentioned above that you can use with both bag work and sparring and offer great protection (again, I prefer 12oz for bag work and 14oz for sparring)

Why You Can Trust This List (How We Chose the Best Boxing Gloves)
Boxing was the first combat sport I ever did (at the age of 13) and while I don’t train as frequently in it now (I’m more focused on Muay Thai and BJJ), it still has a special place in my heart since it got me started in martial arts.
I spent close to 32 hours on this post so I hope it can be something that anyone can use to find their next favorite pair of boxing gloves.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned fighter looking for a new pair, I wanted this list to be completely unbiased and comprehensive by including all of the most popular brands out there.
Finally, while I have owned nearly a dozen boxing gloves, I haven’t personally used every glove on this list. Gloves that I don’t have first hand experience using, I compiled reviews from friends and training partners, as well as sites and channels like amazon, reddit, csquared, and manufacturer sites.

What to Look for When Buying Boxing Gloves
Comfort/Fit
Gloves that fit securely and snugly should be your top priority for training comfort. Look for the best boxing gloves that conform to the shape of your hands and provide natural mobility for a personalized, pleasant experience and, of course, for better protection.
Protection
Opt for gloves with sufficient padding to absorb impact and reduce the risk of injuries. Find the best boxing gloves that provide better cushioning on the knuckles and thumb to offer enhanced protection during intense punches.
Ensure the boxing gloves you purchase balance sufficient padding for support while avoiding extensive padding that could limit your movement.
Wrist Support
To give enough wrist support, choose your best boxing gloves with reinforced cuffs or adjustable straps. This feature promotes stability throughout exercise, reduces injuries, and aids in maintaining good form.
Velcro vs Lace
When deciding between a lace or Velcro closure, consider how much you value simplicity and convenience. Closures with velcro allow for easy adjustments, while those with lace provide a more personalized and tighter fit.
Quality/Durability
Invest in the best boxing gloves made with high-quality materials and solid construction to ensure durability. Regarding boxing gloves, genuine leather is considered the gold standard for high quality and longevity. Gloves crafted from premium leather, such as cowhide or goatskin, are durable, comfortable, and long-lasting.
Price
While price is a consideration, it must be weighed against quality and durability. So, spending a little more money on a higher-quality pair of gloves is okay if they may last longer and protect your hands better.
Design
Choose the best boxing gloves design that resonates with your style and motivates you to train. Gloves with a more traditional shape tend to be wider and give more cushioning and protection. In contrast, newer gloves are more precise in form, sleeker, and more streamlined.
