Boxing Shorts

If you are thinking about starting up boxing, there are some pieces of equipment you should have. The obvious things you need are boxing gloves, a mouthpiece and boxing shoes. However, many people forget about boxing shorts. Maybe they don’t know the benefits or just figured they are the same as any other pair of shorts but this just isn’t true.

Despite their oversized looks and gaudy designs, there are some reasons that people wear boxing shorts and it’s not just to look fancy. Boxing shorts keep you comfortable and cool while you’re in the ring. Because of their size, you get a lot of air flow and don’t overheat. Another reason they are so big is so they can fit the groin protector in there without being seen. These big shorts also reduce the target area for the opponent.
