No two boxers train the same way, and neither should their gloves. The Phenom glove range spans three core styles built around how you actually train: sparring gloves for partner work, bag and training gloves for pad and heavy bag sessions, and fight gloves engineered for competition.
Our sparring range runs from the entry-level S-4 and FG-10S through to the professional-standard 210 and 202 Series, the wrist-secure 222 Series with its patent pending Lace-Fit™ Dual Strap System, and the horsehair-padded 235 Series for boxers who want authentic feedback. At the top of the range, the SG-300 is built from premium Italian leather with advanced Japanese and UK foam technology for uncompromising comfort and durability.
For bag work, the SB-150 and XRT-220 - featuring impact-reactive XRD® protection - are built to absorb heavy contact session after session, while the XDT-200 bridges training and competition with a lighter, more responsive feel. Our Bag Mitt Series stays true to traditional training, prioritising feedback and technique over bulk.
When it's time to step up, our fight gloves are approved for competition by the BBBofC and, in the case of the RSF-210 and XDF-210, the New York State Commission too. The HSF-300 represents the pinnacle of fight night performance, combining hybrid horsehair and foam padding with luxurious Italian leather.
Every Phenom glove is built with premium materials and precision craftsmanship, because the right glove doesn't just protect your hands, it changes how you train. Browse the range to find yours.
Which Phenom glove is the best all-rounder?
This is largely subjective and depends on your training needs and personal preferences. The SG-210 is one of our most popular all-rounders, with balanced multi-layer padding and a semi-broken-in feel that makes it ideal for sparring, bag and pad work. The SG-300 offers a more premium alternative, featuring advanced Japanese and UK foams for enhanced comfort and impact absorption.
For those who prefer a firmer, more structured feel, the SG-202 is a stylish option, while the SG-235 combines traditional old-school styling with hybrid horsehair and foam padding for a distinctive punching experience.
The premium microfibre MSG-205 offers another versatile option, while the S-4 and FG-10S provide more affordable all-round choices.
I’ve just started boxing and want to take it seriously. Which gloves should I buy first?
Start with a versatile glove suitable for bag work, pads and sparring. Most coaches recommend 14oz or 16oz, depending on your weight, while a hook-and-loop closure makes it easier to train independently.
The S-4 and FG-10S are excellent starting points, offering dependable all-round performance at an accessible price. For those looking to invest in a more premium glove, the SG-210S, SG-202 and premium microfibre MSG-205 are excellent alternatives.
As your training becomes more regular, consider adding dedicated bag gloves to help preserve the padding and condition of your sparring gloves.
Which gloves do I need to prepare for my first fight?
For fight camp, a good pair of sparring gloves, typically 16oz, is essential. These can also be used for bag and pad work, although many boxers prefer a separate pair of training or bag gloves for regular heavy bag sessions to help preserve their sparring gloves.
Fight-night glove requirements depend on the competition. Amateur and white collar events have their own rules, while professional contests generally require approved fight gloves arranged through the promoter. Always confirm the requirements with your coach, governing body or event organiser before purchasing competition gloves.
