Leone 1947 Head Guards

Leone 1947 Head Guards — Italian design for stand-up combat

Leone 1947 is the Italian combat-sports brand founded in 1947 with strong boxing heritage and a growing presence in Muay Thai and MMA. Their head guard range brings Italian design and material quality to fight training gear, with two distinct series: the synthetic-leather DNA for everyday training and the genuine-leather The Greatest for competition-quality use. A premium alternative to the Asian-origin brands that dominate UK Muay Thai catalogues. Authorised UK Leone 1947 stockist with free delivery over £75.

The Leone Muay Thai head guard range

DNA series (£67.99) — Italian-designed everyday training

The DNA series is Leone's lightweight synthetic leather head guard with integrated cheek protection. Available as a standard model and a with-cheek-protectors variant for fighters wanting extra coverage during clinch exchanges. Black colourway, Pakistan-made to Leone's spec. The DNA's distinctive design and balanced construction earned it a place in the Made4Fighters head guard range as the design-led alternative to the Bytomic and Fumetsu value tiers.

The Greatest (£149.99) — premium leather construction

The Greatest series is Leone's premium leather head guard, available in Black, Red and Blue. Real leather construction (denser, heavier, more durable than synthetic) that breaks in to the wearer's individual fit over years of use. Competition-quality finish, reinforced cheek bridge, designed for high-volume sparrers and amateur competitors who want top-tier materials. The choice for fighters investing in a long-service-life leather head guard.

Picking your Leone head guard

For everyday club training or anyone wanting the Leone aesthetic without the leather price, the DNA series (£67.99) is the right call. For high-volume sparrers (three or more sessions a week), competition prep, or anyone investing in a long-service-life leather guard, The Greatest (£149.99) justifies the upgrade. Pair with Leone 1947 boxing gloves and Leone 1947 shin guards for a complete Italian-designed loadout.
