Muay Thai / BoxingFairtex BGV1Genuine leather
The essentials: Fairtex boxing gloves in the GLORY colours, black and gold, in genuine leather. Hook-and-loop strap, attached thumb, premium finish. 8 to 16 oz — €119. Free shipping.
GLORY was founded in 2012 and became the promotion that put stand-up kickboxing in front of a global audience, running unified three-round rules with no clinch. This Fairtex pair carries its black and gold.
The GLORY colours
Matte black shell, gold logo and gold detailing on the strap and the cuff. The construction is the Fairtex leather build — the colourway is what sets it apart from the rest of the range.
Genuine leather, premium finish
The shell is genuine leather and the pair is assembled by hand in Thailand. The leather breaks in over the first sessions and follows the shape of your fist rather than staying rigid.
Wrist support
The wide hook-and-loop strap wraps the wrist and closes on itself, so you can glove up alone in a few seconds and adjust the tension mid-session.
What oz should you choose?
- 8 – 10 oz: sanctioned bouts. Professional boxing uses 8 oz up to welterweight and 10 oz above.
- 12 oz: bag and pad rounds, lighter boxers.
- 14 oz: the all-purpose training weight.
- 16 oz: the sparring standard in most clubs.

Frequently asked questions
Are these real leather gloves?
Yes — the BGV1 shell is genuine leather, hand-assembled in Thailand. Wipe it down after each session and use a leather balm once a month.
What is GLORY kickboxing?
A kickboxing promotion founded in 2012, running international events under unified stand-up rules. This glove carries its black and gold colours.
Velcro or laces on these gloves?
A wide hook-and-loop strap. It closes in seconds on your own, which suits training and sparring; laces stay the choice for a sanctioned bout, where a cornerman ties them.
What size Fairtex gloves should I get?
16 oz for sparring, 14 oz for all-purpose training, 12 oz for bag and pad rounds, 8 to 10 oz for sanctioned bouts. Fairtex runs a tighter hand compartment than most brands, so allow for your wraps.
What disciplines are these gloves for?
Muay Thai, kickboxing, K-1 and English boxing. The Thai cut leaves the hand free enough to clinch and catch a kick, which a strictly boxing-shaped glove does not.
