In our store, we often get asked about the difference between boxing gloves and kickboxing gloves.
Nowadays, there is little difference and you can use all boxing gloves from our store for both boxing and kickboxing. We will explain the small differences below.

The classic boxing glove
We sell various top models of classic boxing gloves, including those from the new Italian boxing brand Boxia Italy and the famous Cleto Reyes.
These are truly classic boxing gloves, recognizable by the long flat cuff. The Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are also roomier on the inside, allowing pro boxers to wear them even with heavily wrapped hands.
The Cleto Reyes boxing gloves come with a hefty price tag, but you get a very special boxing glove in return. They are made from the highest quality leather, truly top of the bill!
The gloves are handmade in Mexico by proud craftsmen. The lining is water-repellent, keeping the gloves super fresh. The quality of the padding also remains perfect.
It is no surprise that Cleto Reyes boxing gloves are worn during important boxing matches.

The different kickboxing gloves
There are big differences between the various brands and models. What we personally like is extra padding on the palm and wrist.
This provides extra comfort during sparring and training. When you absorb kicks and punches, that little bit of extra padding feels really good and also better protects your vulnerable wrist area. The Twins BGN boxing glove excels in this.
The King Pro boxing gloves are also great for training. The extended wrist piece offers extra support and protection for your wrist.
With the King Pro kickboxing gloves, you are also assured of firm padding, a thumb protector, and a comfortable fit. Then there are even the Thor gloves, the newest model line of King Pro boxing gloves.
The biggest difference lies in the closure and the extra padding around the boxing gloves. It is a super nice glove but comes with a hefty price tag.
The various models of XPRT are attractively priced. For example, the XPRT Top Gloves are made of leather and have padding around the wrist.
This gives a comfortable feel, and the long Velcro closure keeps the glove perfectly in place. This model also has thick padding, a thumb protector, and reinforced stitching.
So if you are looking for the glove with the best price-quality ratio, we recommend the XPRT Top Gloves boxing gloves.
Of course, you are also welcome in our store to see the difference between boxing gloves and kickboxing gloves with your own eyes. We are open 6 days a week. You can park for free right outside!
