New to boxing? You don’t need a closet full of gear. You need a few good pieces that fit and hold up. This is the short list I’d tell a beginner to look at first, in the order I’d buy it.
1. Hand wraps
Venum Boxing Hand Wraps (affiliate link), 180 inches (15 feet) long.
Why I pick them: high quality and durable. The link opens on black, and you can pick a color on the page. Check current price.
2. Mouthguard
Champs MMA Breathable Mouth Guard (affiliate link).
Why I pick it: a great, cost-effective mouthguard. Durable, and it will last a long time. Boil-and-bite fit, case included. Check current price.
3. Beginner gloves
Everyday pick: Fiving Boxing Gloves (affiliate link). A great glove for beginners.
Step up: RDX Pro Training Sparring Gloves (affiliate link). They feel great to me and help me punch with power.
Sizing: the everyday gloves open on 12 oz and the step-up gloves open on 16 oz. Pick your size on the page: 12 oz for bag work, 14 to 16 oz for sparring. Check current price.
4. Boxing shoes
Hayabusa Pro Boxing Lightweight Shoes (affiliate link).
Why I pick them: great, durable shoes for quick reactions. The link opens on black in a men’s size 9, so pick your own size and color on the page and use the size guide. Check current price.
Start with wraps and a mouthguard, add gloves, and get shoes when you’re ready to train more. Take it one piece at a time.
