Top Ten boxing gloves (Superfight 3000, IBA Competition, WAKO Approved) follow the same oz-to-bodyweight convention as the rest of competition boxing. The size you choose depends on your training use — sparring needs heavier padding than bag work. Find matching gear in the Top Ten collection.
Fit tip: Top Ten gloves are known for their dense, weight-true padding — a Top Ten 12 oz hits softer than many 18 oz gloves from other brands. For pad work go slightly lighter; for sparring follow the bodyweight chart below or go up one band for partner protection. Top Ten sparring 16oz gloves are sold as one-size with adjustable strap.
| Glove Weight | Best Use | Bodyweight |
|---|---|---|
| 8 oz | Competition | Up to 60 kg |
| 10 oz | Competition / bag | 60-75 kg |
| 12 oz | Bag, pads, light sparring | 60-80 kg |
| 14 oz | Sparring (general) | 70-90 kg |
| 16 oz | Sparring (heavyweight) | 80 kg+ |
| 18-20 oz | Sparring (very heavy / coaching) | 100 kg+ |
Top Ten doesn't publish a hand-circumference chart for their boxing gloves — oz weight is the primary fit driver. All Top Ten gloves have an adjustable hook-and-loop or lace closure that accommodates most adult hand widths within a given weight.
How to choose
- Bag and pad work: Lighter glove (10-12 oz) for speed and feedback.
- Sparring: Heavier glove (14-16 oz) for partner protection — most UK clubs require 16 oz for adult sparring.
- Competition: Use the oz weight stipulated by your sanctioning body.
