Clicking on each image will take you to the brand’s store. Where possible, always check out various reviews before making any purchases.
Diablo
This month the guys over at FightStorePro let us know about the emergence of ‘Diablo’, a new boxing brand. Their first releases include the DB1 Spar gloves and the DBF BoxFit, which should have you covered whether you’re a beginner or slightly more advanced.
We’ve managed to get our hands on a pair of the Diablo DB1 Spar gloves, so we’ll be able to bring you our own opinion on the brand.


Fairtex
See our reviews of other Fairtex equipment.
In addition to their other new Muay Thai short releases we spotted October and February, Fairtex have now released even more new short designs. It will likely be a little while before we start to see the new designs commonly outside of Thailand, but the new designs are great additions to Fairtex’s range.


Fortis
See our reviews of other Fortis equipment.
Fortis have recently released their new Renegade gloves, which we celebrated with an in-depth review. These are one of two lines of gloves currently offered by Fortis, the other being their Pro Elite range. The Renegade Boxing Gloves come in two colour variations; black & white (the pair we tested) or red. You also have two choices for weight, 16oz or 12oz, which covers the majority of people for either a sparring glove or a pad work glove.

Punch Equipment
Punch Equipment have recently shared their Pro Urban ‘PDX TITAN’ Boxing Gloves, a full leather upgrade to their existing Urban gloves, with a bold, slashed design, which reminds us of the style of design Venum, or Bad Boy’s latest glove ranges both pull off well. If you’re looking for a mid-range glove with similar visuals, Punch Equipment might be a good alternative to look into.

Ringside (US)
Check out the new Omega Training gloves from Ringside, available in a range of different colour options, including a white/black/gold version. The full wrap-around wrist strap should allow for plenty of wrist support.

Rival Boxing
Rival have supported boxer Vasyl Lomachenko for a while now, producing some gorgeous custom fight gloves. Whether you’re jealous of the amazing designs, or just a Lomachenko fan (we’re a bit of both), then you’ll love the new LOMA range from Rival, bringing you 3 different sets of gloves, some headgear and a groin guard in Lomachenko’s now iconic yellow and blue combo.

Titan Boxing
Titan boxing are another newly established UK brand aiming to make a statement. We’ve been busy testing out their new Velocity gloves, which we’ll be releasing our review of very soon, and we have to admit we’re pretty impressed by the quality and fit so far. Another brand to keep an eye on.

Venum
See our reviews of other Venum equipment.
Venum’s new Bangkok Spirit range gives you a selection of vests, gloves and shorts. The black version looks great, but the real stand-outs of this range are the white variations, which feature worn looking stripes in the Thai flag colours.

That’s it for now, but make sure you sign up to emails so you don’t miss next month’s round-up, or any of our other great articles and reviews.
