Boxing Gloves Size Chart
Choose based on your hand circumference (without bandages) and body weight.
| Body Weight | Hand Circumference | Recommended Size (oz) |
|---|---|---|
| < 40 kg | < 14 cm | 4 & 6 oz |
| 40 – 50 kg | 14 – 16.5 cm | 8 oz |
| 50 – 60 kg | 16.5 – 19 cm | 10 oz |
| 60 – 75 kg | 19 – 21.5 cm | 12 oz |
| 75 – 85 kg | 21.5 – 24 cm | 14 oz |
| 85 – 100 kg | 24 – 26.5 cm | 16 oz |
| > 100 kg | > 26.5 cm | 16 & 18 oz |
Tip: for sparring, 14 – 16 oz is often used (or 16 & 18 oz for higher weight classes or sensitive sparring partners). For pads/bags, you can choose a lighter weight for more speed.
How to measure your hand circumference?
Use a flexible measuring tape around your hand just below the knuckles (excluding the thumb and without bandages). Measure snugly but not tightly.

Are you in doubt between two sizes? Choose based on hand circumference (more important than weight).
Do you usually wear bandages? If you are on the border, choose the larger oz size.
For technical sparring sessions or sensitive sparring partners: 16 & 18 oz.
Pay attention to brand and series: some models are more compact or roomier – check the product description.
