Specific features

+ Indestructible Super Rich Microfibre

Indestructible Super Rich Microfibre is the patented outer material that Rival specifically developed for its premium product line.
It is not standard microfibre - it is a unique material developed by Rival itself that withstands the demanding conditions of intense daily training without losing its shape, color, or structure.
The material combines two properties that are normally difficult to reconcile: extremely strong and lightweight. Whereas traditional leather is heavier and stiffer, this microfibre offers a rich, premium look with a softness that feels comfortable right away - and stays that way, even after many hours of training.
+ Sparring version of Rival's most iconic fight glove

The RFX Guerrero Sparring is the sparring version of Rivals' most iconic fight glove - same fit, same feel, extra protection. is de sparringversie van Rivals meest iconische fight glove — zelfde pasvorm, zelfde gevoel, extra bescherming.
+ Soft, foam-like inner lining

The soft, foam-like lining of Rival gloves adapts to the shape of the hand and ensures a comfortable fit without pressure points. The material absorbs minor vibrations and protects the hand even during prolonged use.
The lining feels pleasant against the skin and retains its softness even after many training sessions - so putting them on feels comfortable every time.
+ Excellent fit with a perfect hand compartment

Rival boxing gloves were developed in close collaboration with experienced boxers, with the goal of providing an excellent fit and a perfect hand compartment . The interior is shaped so that the hand naturally and comfortably rests in a fist - without pressure points or unwanted movement while punching.A good fit is not only a matter of comfort - it also determines how effectively the force of a punch is transferred and how well the hand remains protected. Rival has refined this down to the smallest detail, so the glove feels like an extension of the hand.
Een goede pasvorm is niet alleen een kwestie van comfort - het bepaalt ook hoe effectief de kracht van een stoot wordt overgebracht en hoe goed de hand beschermd blijft. Rival heeft dit tot in detail uitgewerkt, zodat de handschoen aanvoelt als een verlengstuk van de hand.

Ergo Lace Track System

After tying gloves thousands of times over his 40 years in the sport, Russ began to realize that there was not only a pattern, but also a reason and logic behind the way gloves were laced.

When Rival developed the very first sparring glove, Russ (Rival's CEO and founder) wanted to implement several very important features. He wanted to create a glove that:

would perform just as well as, or even better than, any other sparring glove on the market.
could be used by top professionals round after round with complete confidence.
would last longer than anything they had ever used before.
would feature never-before-seen technology and design that Russ had envisioned for at least 15 years.

Thus, the "ERGO LACE TRACK SYSTEM" was born. By using a deep, crisscrossing pattern around the wrist and a ergonomically correct 15-degree angle at the wrist, we created the perfect fit—while keeping the laces hidden at the same time.

This paved the way for Rival's very first sparring glove, the RS1. This concept was so successful that the entire high-end line was built around this design. All these designs are Rival inventions and have since become industry standards.

Rival - Designed in Canada

In 2003, Russ Anber Rival Boxing Gear founded it - not as a businessman, but as someone who had spent decades in the gym and knew exactly what was lacking in the available equipment. He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.

“My gift was the ability to coach, break things down, analyze and make people understand how things work.” — Russ Anber

Frequently Asked Questions — Boxing gloves Rival Ultra RS1 2.0 White (laces)

How do I care for Rival gloves, pads and headgear?

Take your Rival gear out of your gym bag right after training. Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth and let everything air-dry in a cool, shady, well-ventilated place.

For cleaning, use only mild cleaning products or sprays made specifically for sports gear and suitable for the material. A deodorizer, such as a glove dog, and a suitable sports spray help keep your gloves fresh.

Do not use a washing machine or dryer, and avoid direct sunlight, heaters and hot cars. Do not apply petroleum jelly, oil, leather grease or heavy creams, even to leather gear. Store your gear in a dry place.

Here’s how to care for your boxing gloves

Is Rival's Super Rich Microfiber just as strong as genuine leather?

Super Rich is Rival's synthetic microfiber covering, designed as an alternative to leather. The material is practical for regular training and does not need to be treated with leather grease. The lifespan of the entire glove also depends on the stitching, padding, how it is used, and proper drying. The material name alone therefore does not tell you which glove will last the longest.

Is a lace-up closure better for boxing gloves?

Not for every use. Laces let you adjust the closure across more of the cuff. Velcro is usually more practical if you want to put on your gloves quickly by yourself or need to take them off during training.

The overall fit also depends on the cuff, the hand compartment and the model's construction. A lace-up closure does not automatically make two different gloves equivalent. Tuck away laces and Velcro carefully so they cannot scratch your training partner.

What does Rival's Conic Design involve?

Rival Boxing pays attention to the smallest details in ergonomics and anatomy.

The wrist of the gloves with Conic Cuff Design is set at a 15-degree angle so that it follows the natural

angle of a boxer's hand. With this detail in mind, the conical design has been incorporated into Rival boxing gloves. Look at the back of your hand: you'll notice that the line from the top of your little finger to your wrist runs diagonally, and there is another angle from your wrist to your forearm. Unlike most other manufacturers, our boxing glove design takes this into account.

Because the wrist of the boxing gloves with Conic Cuff Design is narrower than the edge of the glove that fits around the forearm, these gloves fit a boxer's wrist better,providing maximum comfort, stability, and performance!

What is the Angled Ergo Lace Track System?

The Angled Ergo Lace Track System is Rival's design for the lacing path around the wrist. The angled placement affects how you close the cuff and distribute tension.

Ergo Lace Track and later Angled Lace Track versions are not necessarily the same design. Check which version the specific Rival model has. The name does not guarantee a perfect fit or a longer lifespan than every other glove.

How do Rival boxing gloves fit?

The fit varies by Rival model and version. Compare the hand compartment and wrist closure of the specific model and use its size chart.

Try on gloves with the handwraps you wear during training. You should be able to make a fist without pain, tingling, or uncomfortable pressure. Don't assume that breaking in a glove will fix a hand compartment that doesn't fit.
