Rival - Designed in Canada 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 equipment available. 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

Tips for Rival Leather Headgear

The lace closure (RHG-Guerrero) provides the most precise fit; adjust it properly once, then tighten the laces consistently to the same tension.

Wipe the headgear with a damp cloth after every training session and let it air out. Occasionally use a leather cleaner or conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out.
