Red boxing sparring set with gloves, headgear and groin guard

When you start sparring you need three key pieces of protection. A sparring set gives you all of them in one matching kit.

What’s included in a sparring set?

  • Boxing gloves – usually 14–16oz for sparring.
  • Headgear – protects cheeks, brow and ears.
  • Groin guard – no-foul protection for the groin and lower abdomen.

You will also need a mouthguard and hand wraps.

Why buy a set instead of separate pieces?

Sets match perfectly, are quicker to buy and are often better value than buying three items individually.

Who should buy a sparring set?

Anyone starting sparring, boxers replacing worn gear, and fighters who want a matching look.

How do I choose sizes?

Pick glove weight by bodyweight and headgear/groin guard by measurement. Full guide: sparring set sizing.
