The 8 Weapons boxing glove range — Big 8 Premium, Premium, Classic, Unlimited, Unlimited 2.0, Hit, Pure, Shift, Sak Yant, Three Elephants 2.0, Cut Like a Blade and the Joe/Jenny/Jipe kids line — uses standard Muay Thai ounce sizing. All adult gloves are 10oz to 16oz; kids gloves are 6oz to 8oz. The weight controls padding, fist load and sparring suitability.
Fit tip: Most UK gyms require 14oz or 16oz minimum for partner sparring. 10oz and 12oz are bag and pad work weights. If you want one pair for everything, buy 16oz — they work across the full training spectrum.
| Weight | Bodyweight guide | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| 6oz | Kids under 8 years | Kids bag/pad work |
| 8oz | Kids 8-13 years | Kids pad and light bag work |
| 10oz | Under 60kg (132lb) | Bag and pad work, competition |
| 12oz | 60-70kg (132-155lb) | Bag, pad and light sparring |

How to measure
- Activity: Match weight to use — heavier oz = more padding = more protection in sparring.
- Hand wraps: 8 Weapons gloves are cut to fit comfortably over 4m hand wraps. If you wear unusually bulky wraps, allow one weight up for fit.
- Gym policy: Always check your gym's minimum sparring glove weight before buying.

Premium leather construction meets matte black styling in the 8 Weapons Shift Matt Boxing Gloves Black — a clean all-black training glove engineered for fighters who want a refined matte finish on top of serious construction. Triple-layer foam padding for knuckle protection, secure hook-and-loop wrist closure, and reinforced double-stitched seams across pad work, bag rounds and partner drills.
The Shift Matt gloves carry the same compact, clinch-friendly geometry as the rest of the Shift line, with a wide hook-and-loop wrist closure that locks down the joint cuff and a moisture-resistant inner lining that keeps the gloves comfortable through sweaty sessions. The understated matte-black finish pairs cleanly with virtually any rash guard or Muay Thai shorts.
Main features:
- Premium real leather with reinforced double-stitched seams
- Triple-layer foam padding for serious impact protection
- Hook-and-loop wrist closure for stable wrist support
- Moisture-resistant inner lining keeps gloves comfortable
- Sewn-on thumb positioned to reduce sprain risk on heavy shots
- Available in four sizes from 10oz to 16oz to suit pad work through sparring
