Starting boxing? You don’t need everything on day one. Here’s what to buy, in order.

1. Hand wraps

Protect your wrists and knuckles. Learn how to wrap – shop hand wraps.

2. Boxing gloves

A 12–16oz pair covers most training. Use our size chart and browse boxing gloves.

3. Mouthguard

Essential before any partner work.

4. Boxing shoes

Better grip and ankle support – why they help. Shop boxing shoes.

5. Headgear and groin guard (for sparring)

Read headgear types and groin guard essentials, or save time with a complete sparring set.

6. Focus mitts (for partners and coaches)

Shop focus mitts & pads.

Budget tip

Buy wraps and gloves first, then add sparring gear once your coach says you’re ready.
