Rival boxing trunks

Rival Boxing Gear was founded in Canada in the early 2000s and has since experienced steady growth in the martial arts world, with a focus on classic boxing. The company was founded by Russ Anber, a prominent name in the boxing world.

Anber, a respected boxing trainer and coach, had an in-depth understanding of what fighters needed to improve their skills and excel in the ring. With this background and expertise, he aimed to produce high-quality equipment that would meet fighters’ needs.

Rival boxing trunks usually come in “regular” sizes, from S to XL.

Each brand and model of boxing trunk has a unique size chart (when selecting a size and at the bottom in the content). Here, we provide the best possible guideline on what we think is the best choice for you for that specific brand and model.

The Rival boxing trunks can be machine-washed, but it is best to turn them inside out first. You should also wash them at a low temperature. You can optionally place them in a laundry bag to protect them. Hand-washing is of course still the safest option.

Washing instructions:
Always check the washing instructions on the label of the trunks first. Some trousers may require a specific washing temperature or cycle. 

Inside out:
Turn the boxing trunk inside out to protect the outside and prints during washing.

Washing machine:
Choose a delicate cycle or a low-temperature cycle, such as 30°C or 40°C. Avoid hot water, as it can damage the fabric. 

Laundry bag:
Use a laundry bag for delicate clothing to protect the boxing trunk from the movement of the washing machine, especially if the trunks have hook-and-loop fasteners. 

Drying:
Allow the trunks to air-dry normally. Do not use a tumble dryer, as the heat can damage the fabric and alter the fit. 

Other tips:
It is best to wash the kickboxing shorts separately or with similar colors to prevent discoloration and color transfer. 

Traditional boxing trunks have a distinctive, almost iconic appearance. Why?

Every element of the design has a practical function:

• Roomy, loose fit – For freedom of movement, fast footwork, and agility
• High waistband – More protection for the lower abdomen. Extra support for the core. A visual reference point for referees for legal punches above the belt.
• Lightweight, breathable material – Helps boxers stay cooler and more comfortable They remain lightweight because they absorb less excess sweat and therefore do not weigh the boxer down.
• Striking designs and bright colors – Originally practical for distinguishing the fighters from one another for both the audience and the judges. Now also a way to reflect the boxers’ identities in the sport. voor zowel publiek als jury. Nu ook een middel om de identiteit van de boksers in de sport te weerspiegelen.
