Built with a longer boxing-style profile and dense padding, the BGV9 is designed for hard pad rounds, heavy bag work and regular boxing training.
The Fairtex BGV9 takes a different approach to the more traditional Muay Thai-style gloves in the Fairtex range.
Designed as Fairtex's Mexican-style Heavy Hitter glove, the BGV9 is aimed at punchers who want a boxing-focused glove for regular, intensive training.
Made from genuine leather, the gloves use double-layer high-density latex foam padding designed to distribute impact during prolonged punching sessions.
The BGV9 is particularly well suited to striking-focused training.

If a lot of your training revolves around hitting bags and pads hard, this is where the BGV9 makes the most sense.
Fairtex uses double-layer high-density latex foam in the BGV9, alongside a weighted padding system designed around control and impact absorption.

The gloves use genuine leather externally, while a water-repellent nylon lining helps protect the internal padding from sweat.
It's a straightforward glove built with hard training in mind.
