Choosing the Right Size
One of the most common questions beginners have is: what size gloves do I need?
Choosing the correct size is essential when buying beginners boxing gloves. Gloves are usually measured in ounces, and the right size depends on your body weight and training type. Lightweight users may prefer 10oz or 12oz gloves for bag work, while 14oz or 16oz gloves are common for sparring. Properly fitted beginner boxing gloves should feel snug but not tight, allowing room for hand wraps while still offering support.
A simple guide:
-
12oz → perfect for beginners due to being lighter for better hand and accuracy practise
-
14oz → a great boxing gloves for all round training and sparring
-
16oz → more for heavy sparring and heavier weight catogories
