Question

For pro fighters do they get to choose what brand gloves they want come fight night?

Answer 1

In major fights elite fighters are able to chose or reject certain gloves that are required for their bout, most punchers prefer to use Reyes gloves because they feel harder, and more compact.

Like Sugar Ray Leonard opted for thumb less gloves because of his detach retna. In prelim bouts you where what the promoter

has chosen.

Answer 2

Yes. As long as its the greed upon size, weight, etc that was agreed upon with the opponent.

Answer 3

Only in big Championship fights can the main event request a particular brand of gloves. Both fighters are offered 5 pairs of said brand requested, one to be worn in the fight & the other as a back up. Both fighters can request different brands but the champ gets 1st pick.

Other then that fighters will wear what ever is supplied to them by the promoter. Now the promoter can give a fighter the option of gloves even at the club level but most will not even bother with that, they usually hire somebody to rent the gloves from and whatever he brings, thats it, as long they are the correct weighted gloves for that weight division...
