    Im in the market for a nice pair of gloves and just general odds and sods for boxing. Can anyone recommend a good site and glove make thats not overpriced and offers a bit of value?

    What’s wrong with Lonsdale lol... I know one or two fight/sparring gloves that are better than Winning or Grant... keep it to myself rofl.

    Got headgear which was £45 for £11 in Sports Direct

    Got gloves, mitts, wraps, pads, for prices in the region of £8-14

    I was shocked at how cheap the equipment is. Then again, the quality isn't great, but it's completely fine to work with and I doubt you'll be anything less than pleased with it.

    It's definitely a good starting kit.

    If you're looking for good quality stuff, for a cheap price, then I'd go for Ebay. It may come from abroad but you'll get it a hell of a lot cheaper and it'll be the same product.

    I've bought the lonsdale ones from sports direct they are prity naff to say the least, i bought them because of cost and didnt think i would stick out the classes but now i like going to the classes i might invest in a better pair.
