Boxing Gear

Where to Buy
Your local sporting goods
store or outlet will have stuff,
but I suggest you buy from a
catalog (often the gear found
in the large retail outlets is
crap).

Everlast: 718-993-0100
Ringside: 913-888-1719

Geared up to spar.
Quality headgear,
training gloves and
groin protector provide
safety and protection.
The groin protector
can be worn over or
under shorts.

Please note that although full protection isn’t worn by the
boxers in all the photos in this book, this in no way condones
sparring without wearing proper protection as recommended
above. If boxer’s aren’t completely suited up they are demon-
strating technique only and not actually sparring. In most cases
specific points of technique were better presented without
gearing up because equipment tended to obscure details. DW
