Boxing gloves

Fight2Win offers one of the most exclusive boxing gloves selections in the Netherlands—from accessible leather gloves from XPRT Fight Gear and Twins Special to the professional Rival RS11V and Guerrero, the iconic Cleto Reyes from Mexico, the ultimate Winning from Japan, and the rare Di Nardo Worldwide from Italy.

Brands you won't find in most stores, but that are readily available from our shelves—and ready for immediate delivery from our own stock.

Choosing a brand is not only about quality; it is also a personal choice and a matter of budget.

XPRT Fight Gear and Twins Special are the most accessible choices: solid quality, 100% leather, and available in a wide range of weights for beginners and recreational athletes.

Twins Special, King Pro Boxing and Fairtex are more commonly associated with kickboxing and thai boxing, although they are also perfectly suitable for boxing. Hayabusa — with its MMA origins — is a versatile all-rounder. Rival Boxing Gear, Cleto Reyes, Di Nardo Worldwide and Winning are known as the “real” boxing brands for advanced athletes and competitive boxers.

Cleto Reyes and Di Nardo Worldwide are handmade premium gloves for the boxer who wants the very best. Winning from Japan stands in a class of its own—the most exclusive boxing gloves in the world, worn by Olympic champions.

Rival Boxing Gear was founded by boxing coach Russ Anber - coach, cornerman, caretaker, and cutman to world champions such as Wladimir Klitschko, Vasyl Lomachenko, and Oleksandr Usyk. Rival is known as one of the most innovative boxing brands in the world and has changed the market with technologies that other brands have since copied.

The patented microfiber PU, the V-Strap Wrist Lock 2 system, and the 15° angled cuff are Rival inventions. The RS11V Evolution is the best-selling sparring glove in the brand's history—and one of the best-selling boxing gloves at Fight2Win.

Fight2Win is the exclusive VIP partner and official distributor of Rival Boxing Gear for the Benelux. This means: the full Rival range is always in stock—every model, every color, every size. No lead times, no waiting. Directly from our warehouse in Waddinxveen.

In fact, there are only two types of closures for boxing gloves: hook-and-loop closure and traditional lace-up closure.

Most people buy boxing gloves with hook-and-loop fastening because of the superior ease of use. Beginners almost always choose hook-and-loop, but many experienced fighters and (semi-)professionals do too—a lace-up closure is virtually impossible to put on by yourself without assistance.

Brands such as Hayabusa and Rival are at the forefront of innovation in hook-and-loop closures. Their systems— Dual-X, Ergo Xtreme Strap and Wrist Lock 2 —imitate the snug fit of a lace-up closure as closely as possible, without sacrificing ease of use. One of the best hook-and-loop boxing gloves is the Rival RS11V Evolution.

For professional fighters nothing beats the traditional lace-up closure —always superior and able to be tightened securely around the wrists. Rival also has unique innovations in this area: the Angled Lace Track and Ergo Lace Track system. The Rival RS100 Professional and the entire Di Nardo and most of the Winning range are available exclusively with laces.

Di Nardo Worldwide is an Italian artisan brand that produces handmade boxing gloves in small batches—each model has its own name and character. The La Fiamma, La Bestia, Impattatore, Supremo, Viola Furia and Pelle di Leone are available exclusively with laces and in 14 or 16 oz. Exclusively for boxers who make no compromises.

Winning from Japan—founded in Tokyo in 1932—makes the most exclusive boxing gloves in the world. Handmade and virtually unobtainable worldwide. Winning is widely known as the ultimate "pillow glove": maximum hand protection when throwing powerful punches.

The Winning MS600 has a legendary reputation for its padding. Fight2Win is one of the few stores in Europe with authentic Winning gear in stock, including import duties and VAT.

The choice of the right weight depends on body weight and training intensity. As a rule of thumb: 8–10 oz for lighter athletes (youth) and pad work. 12 oz for general use and light sparring for women. 14–16 oz for intensive sparring—the most commonly chosen size for advanced athletes. 18 oz for the heaviest athletes or maximum protection during heavy sparring. You can find specific size advice on each product page.

The padding is the essence of a boxing glove—and this is where there are major differences between brands. There are “soft” gloves such as Twins, King Pro and XPRT, “harder” gloves such as Cleto Reyes and Fairtex, Rival, Winning and Di Nardoand gloves that seek a middle ground such as

. Cleto Reyes is widely known as “puncher’s gloves” that land firmly, while Winning is famous for its “pillows” because of the maximum hand protection they provide during hard punches. The most commonly used filling material is foam —in variants such as latex foam, injected foam, and multi-layer foam. Horsehair Cleto Reyes is still used in competition gloves, such as those from and the.

There are two choices for the outer material: synthetic leather/artificial leather and genuine leather (usually cowhide). But that is too simplistic — there is an enormous difference in quality within both categories.

The more expensive brands such as Winning and Di Nardo use the absolute best-quality leather from Italy - supple and extremely durable. Mexican brands, such as Cleto Reyes, use somewhat stiffer leather, very sturdy but less luxurious. Many modern manufacturers prefer their own synthetic materials: Hayabusa uses the patented Vylar-2, while Rival Boxing Gear uses virtually indestructible material in their top ranges. Extremely good leather gloves at competitive prices are the Microfiber XPRT Pro V3 , available in a wide range of colors.Boxing gloves do not last forever. The better you care for them, the longer they will last. Air out your gloves after every training session

- never store them in a closed sports bag. Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth and periodically treat leather gloves with a leather cleaner or conditioner . Always use handwraps or inner gloves- this protects the inside and significantly extends their lifespan. bandages of binnenhandschoenen - dit beschermt de binnenkant en verlengt de levensduur aanzienlijk.
