Caged Core Boxing Gloves

At a glance: Caged Core boxing gloves are premium training gloves available in 10, 12, 14 and 16 oz, designed for serious boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai sparring. Choose 12 or 14 oz for most sparring sessions, 10 oz for lighter pad work or competition, and 16 oz for heavier sparring or added hand protection.

Choosing the right weight for caged core boxing gloves

The Caged Core range offers four weights to match your training needs. The 10 oz gloves suit lighter athletes for pad work and competition-style sparring, though many gyms require heavier gloves for partner drills. The 12 oz option balances speed and protection for technical sparring and bag sessions, making it popular among intermediate and advanced boxers under 75 kg. At 14 oz you gain more padding for controlled sparring at medium to heavy intensity, ideal for athletes between 70 and 90 kg or anyone prioritising hand safety. The 16 oz gloves deliver maximum cushioning for heavy sparring, larger athletes or those returning from hand injuries.

Design and construction

Every Caged Core glove shares the same multi-layer foam construction and ergonomic hand position, with colour options ranging from understated matte black and midnight blue to bold white-gold and khaki-green combinations. The hook-and-loop closure offers quick adjustments and wrist support across all weights. These gloves work equally well for boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai, whether you train on bags, pads or with sparring partners.

Frequently asked questions

Which caged core boxing gloves are the best choice?

The Caged Core Boxing Gloves in Matte Black, Midnight Blue or Black/Black are all excellent premium choices for serious training. They share identical construction and padding, so your decision comes down to personal colour preference. All three models are available in the full range of weights from 10 to 16 oz, ensuring you can match the glove to your body weight, training intensity and gym requirements.

What size Caged Core gloves should I buy for sparring?

For sparring, most gyms require 14 or 16 oz gloves to protect both you and your training partner. Choose 14 oz if you weigh between 70 and 90 kg and spar at moderate intensity, or 16 oz if you are heavier, spar hard or want maximum hand protection. Lighter athletes under 70 kg often find 12 oz sufficient for controlled technical sparring, but always check your gym's rules before buying.

Can I use Caged Core boxing gloves for kickboxing and Muay Thai?

Yes, Caged Core boxing gloves work well for kickboxing and Muay Thai training. The multi-layer foam and wrist closure provide the same protection and support whether you are throwing punches on the heavy bag, holding pads or sparring. The ergonomic hand position suits both boxing combinations and the longer-range strikes common in kickboxing, making them a versatile choice for stand-up striking disciplines.
