Question
What glove sizes coincide with the different weightclasses?

Answer
Hi Matt,

Thanks for the question.
Per USA Boxing rules, 10 oz. gloves are used in all amateur bouts involving boxers weighing up to 152 pounds. For all bouts in weight divisions above 152, 12 oz. gloves are used.

I hope this helps!

Thanks again for writing.

Regards,
Lian
