18 Oz Gloves

18oz gloves are the heavy artillery of boxing gloves. Built for big fighters and hard sparring sessions, the extra weight forces your shoulders to work harder — building endurance with every round. At 18oz, the padding is substantial enough to protect both you and your training partner during full-contact sparring.

Most fighters graduate to 18oz gloves when they move into heavier weight classes (above 85kg) or when they want to maximise the conditioning benefit of their bag and pad work. The extra ounce or two over 16oz might not sound like much, but over a 10-round session you will feel the difference in your shoulders and arms. These gloves are also popular with coaches who hold pads for multiple fighters — the extra padding protects their hands over long sessions.

At MMA Fight Store, our 18oz range includes options from Fairtex, Twins, and other premium brands. If you are a heavyweight fighter or just want the most protective training glove available, 18oz is your weight. Browse the collection to find your pair.
