Blood red splatters on a white ground, graphic lettering, contrasting black lacing: the Killer is built to be noticed in the gym and on camera. Behind the visual stance sits a classic, proven build: PU leather, injection moulded padding and mesh ventilation.
A design that does not go unnoticed
The red on white pattern covers the whole striking face and continues along the edge. That extreme contrast has a concrete benefit beyond the look: the target stays clearly readable to the boxer even thrown at full speed, which helps judge distance and timing. It is also the model chosen by those who film their sessions: it stands out immediately on screen.
PU leather and injection moulding
The shell is PU leather, supple and resistant to the repeated friction of gloves. Inside, the injection moulding delivers strong shock absorption while keeping the mitt light: the coach moves the target quickly between shots without the arm loading up, which makes it a sound tool for working speed and combinations.
Reinforced lacing and buckle strap
The rim is assembled with exposed black lacing, stronger than plain stitching on an area under repeated strain. At the back, the gusset shaped to the hand and the adjustable buckle strap give a comfortable, stable grip: the mitt stays locked to the hand on impact, even on heavy shots.
Ventilation
A vented mesh panel on the back of the hand and a mesh lining carry sweat away. Across pad sessions run with several partners, that is what keeps the hand from slipping and stops damp settling in.

Which focus mitts to choose
Getting the most out of pad work
- Short combinations: 3 to 5 shots (jab, cross, hook) beat long, loose series.
- Locked wrist: present the mitt facing the fist and meet the impact slightly.
- Simulated counters: send a mitt back towards the boxer to make them keep their guard up and slip.
- Tighten the buckle before the round: a mitt with play on the hand tires the wrist and throws the target off.
- Care: wipe after each session with a dry or lightly damp cloth, air the mesh and let it dry naturally.

Frequently asked questions
Are they sold singly or as a pair?
As a pair: you receive 2 pieces, one for each hand, with free standard delivery.
What are they made of?
PU leather, a supple synthetic that stands up to the friction of gloves, with injection moulded padding inside and reinforced lacing around the rim. For very heavy daily use, the Esprit Boxe range in real leather offers a longer working life.
How do you keep the white face crisp?
The design is printed on PU leather, which stands up well to the friction of gloves. A wipe with a cloth after each session is enough to keep the white clean; the patina that appears on the impact area over the seasons is purely on the surface, and the absorption and hold of the mitt are unchanged.
Are they suitable for MMA?
Yes for punch work, whether in boxing, kickboxing or MMA. For kicks and knees, go for a Thai pad or a shield instead, built to absorb that kind of impact.
Do you need gloves to strike them?
Yes. Pad work is done with hand wraps and boxing gloves, generally 10 to 14 oz. Striking bare-handed exposes the knuckles, even against a padded target.
How do you look after them?
Wipe the surface with a dry or lightly damp cloth after each session, air the mesh lining and let it dry at room temperature. Avoid the washing machine, soaking and direct heat.
