What Size Boxing Gloves Do I Buy?Updated 2 years ago
Ultimately, the size of gloves you choose will depend on your individual needs and preferences. It would be best to use 16-oz gloves for sparring as they provide enough protection for your hands and sparring partner. Lighter gloves, such as 12-oz, offer more speed and maneuverability during training, while heavier gloves, like 18-oz, offer more overall protection at the cost of size and weight.
Recommendations from a striking perspective:
Mitts - 12oz to 14oz
Bag Work - 12oz to 18oz
Sparring - 16oz or Greater
