Boxing gloves are padded protective gear worn on the hands during boxing training and matches. They are designed to protect both the wearer's hands and their opponent from serious injuries. Boxing gloves come in various weights, typically ranging from 8 oz to 16 oz, with heavier gloves providing more padding for training purposes.
They are usually made of high-quality leather or synthetic materials and feature secure wrist straps—either lace-up or Velcro—for a snug fit. Inside, they contain foam padding to absorb impact and reduce hand strain. Some gloves are specialized for different uses, such as sparring, bag work, or professional competition.
