Boxing hoodies
Boxing hoodies and ring jackets from S to XXXL — champions, disciplines, brands and club customisation
The essentials: more than 75 models — hoodies, zip-throughs, crew necks, sleeveless tops and ring-walk jackets. All available from S to XXXL, European cut: take your usual size. Mostly polyester, with cotton, velvet and satin on selected pieces. PET film heat transfer marking, full sublimation on all-over models. Around twenty named fighters, five disciplines, four historic brands and a range customisable with your club logo. Free standard shipping.
A boxing hoodie is not worn during the rounds. It is worn before — the warm-up, the skipping, the walk to the gym — and after, when the body comes down and must not cool too fast. That function explains the formats: a hood to wrap you up, a zip to regulate, sleeveless to free the shoulders, a crew neck to sit under a jacket.
🥊 Champions and legends
Mike Tyson — three models, three moments. The Iron Mike back print reproduces the peek-a-boo guard taught by Cus D'Amato, who took him in at thirteen. Brooklyn 1966 carries his year of birth, not a club date. GOAT points to the three belts held at twenty-one.
Muhammad Ali — the Float Like a Butterfly carries a line that is not his but his cornerman's, Drew Bundini Brown. The zip-through The Greatest reproduces the Lewiston photograph of 1965. The gold logo points back to the stolen bicycle that took him into a gym at twelve.
The others: Joe Frazier, the first man to beat Ali on 8 March 1971 · Gennady Golovkin · Naoya Inoue · Anthony Joshua · Gervonta Davis · Canelo Álvarez.
🐍 MMA, UFC and fighters
The organisation:UFC logo alone, a colour version with the full wording and a zip-through with back marking.
The discipline: a closed fist seen head-on — a bare fist, not a glove, because MMA is fought in open-fingered mitts that leave the hands free to grip.
The fighters:Conor McGregor and Khamzat Chimaev, whose nickname Borz means wolf in Chechen.
🎬 Rocky, Creed and boxing cinema
Five Rocky hoodies, five different ways into the same story: a script written in three days, three Oscars in 1977, twenty-eight days of shooting, nine films across fifty years, and the real fight that started it all — Chuck Wepner lasting fifteen rounds with Ali in 1975.
The formats: zip-through in seven colourways, Philadelphia collegiate and crew neck. The gyms from the films have their own pieces: Mighty Mick's, where the trainer has him chase a chicken to work on speed, and Delphi Boxing Academy, his opponent's.

🏷️ The historic brands
Everlast, founded in 1910 in New York by seventeen-year-old Jacob Golomb, who sold swimwear guaranteed for a year — hence the name. It moved into boxing in 1917.
Lonsdale London, founded in 1960, takes its name from the Lonsdale Belt created in 1909: a boxer who wins it three times keeps it for life.
Venum, a French brand born in 2006, became the official UFC outfitter in 2021.
No Boxing No Life is the label of Eddy Reynoso, Canelo Álvarez's trainer — the phrase was first painted on the wall of his training camp in Guadalajara.
⚫ The Esprit Boxe house range
Our logo shows neither a glove nor a guard: a silhouette with arms raised, the second that follows the decision. Most combat sports brands stop at the closed fist.
Five pieces: the hooded pullover in eight colourways, the black and gold in cotton with a gold back print, the half-zip with sleeve pockets, the sleeveless zip-through and the satin ring-walk jacket.

🎨 Nameless designs, humour and slogans
For those who want to display neither a champion nor a brand. The heartbeat prints an ECG trace whose central spike — the QRS complex, named by Willem Einthoven, Nobel laureate in 1924 — becomes a boxer in guard.
On the humorous side: the evolution of a boxer, J'peux pas j'ai boxe in French, and It's Cheaper Than Therapy — a changing-room joke that medicine eventually took seriously.
✏️ Club and gym customisation
Two options, both with a mock-up submitted before production. The custom club training set prints your logo on the chest, the back and the thigh, with the option of adding a role — coach, staff, competitor. The customisable hoodie prints an individual name on a band built into the design, in three formats.
Our advice: for a group order, send the size breakdown, the list of names and your deadline straight away — a show, a tournament, the start of a season. That deadline sets the production schedule. Write to info@esprit-boxe.com.
🎯 Which model should you choose?
- You walk or cycle to the gym — a hooded model, in a bright colour if you head out late in the day.
- You keep the garment on through the warm-up — a zip, a half-zip or a sleeveless.
- You wear it mostly in the street — a crew neck or a discreetly marked model.
- You are kitting out a club — a two-piece set, customised or not.
- You are looking for a gift — a slogan or a humorous design, understood without knowing boxing.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What size boxing hoodie should I choose?
Standard European cut across the whole collection: take your usual size, with no adjustment and no Asian sizing conversion to apply. Six sizes, S to XXXL — XXXL is the same as 3XL. If you normally buy US sizes, American sizing runs more generous, so consider one size up for a relaxed fit. Two exceptions to know: oversized or drop-shoulder cuts, where one size down gives a classic drape. Each product page says so.
What fabric are the hoodies made from?
The great majority are in polyester: the knit does not distort in the wash the way a heavy cotton does, and it dries far faster, which matters for a garment you pull on while sweating. A few models differ — cotton, polyester with elastane for stretch, velvet and satin on ring-walk pieces. The Fabric line on each product page gives the exact composition.
What is the difference between a hoodie, a zip-through and a crew neck?
Three distinct uses. The hoodie wraps you up and holds heat: it is the garment for the journey, for waiting ringside and for leaving the gym. The zip-through opens and closes without going over the head, so it can be worn through the warm-up to regulate temperature. The crew neck slides under a jacket without bulk at the neck.
Why sleeveless sweatshirts in boxing?
Because a sleeve restricts the extension of the arm at the moment you throw the straight, and holds heat where you do not need it. The torso stays covered so the muscles do not cool between sets, while the shoulders stay free. It is the format to pick if you keep the garment on through skipping and shadow work, not just before.
Can you train directly in a sweatshirt?
For the warm-up, skipping, roadwork and shadow, yes. For rounds on the bag or on the pads, a hood and a front pocket get in the way: many wear a boxing t-shirt underneath and take the sweatshirt off when the gloves go on. For ground work, a compression top or a rash guard is more suitable.
Do you offer hoodies customised with a club logo?
Yes, with a mock-up submitted before production: nothing is made without your approval. Customisation covers three positions — chest, back and jogger thigh — and allows a role to be added such as coach, staff or competitor. Write to info@esprit-boxe.com with your artwork, the sizes and the quantities.
Does the price of a set cover both pieces?
Yes. On all our tracksuits, training sets and kit sets, the price shown covers both the top and the bottom. Joggers sold on their own have their own product pages.
How are the designs printed?
By heat transfer on PET film for standard markings: the design holds through washing without flaking. All-over models follow a different process — the design is applied to the fabric panels before assembly, which lets it cross a seam and continue onto a sleeve.
How do I care for a printed boxing hoodie?
Machine wash at 30 °C inside out, no tumble dryer, and never put an iron directly on the print. Avoid fabric softener on polyester models: it clogs the knit and kills the moisture-wicking.
Where do you ship?
Free standard shipping across Europe, and worldwide delivery including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia. Items in stock leave quickly; customised models ship once your mock-up is approved.
