As you probably know, Century and Everlast are two of the strongest players in the boxing equipment industry. However, you don’t necessarily have to go to their sites to get their products or others’. As a matter of fact, the open distribution of the Web makes it very easy to find whatever your heart desires, wherever you want to get it. Looking for boxing gloves or head gear to begin sparring sessions at a local gym? Or maybe you are looking for a heavy bag to punch your frustrations away? I have found a few places that should be able to satisfy your needs. Take a look.
Amazon.com
This destination shocked me. Amazon has a very healthy selection of reasonably-priced boxing-related products, both new and used. From boxing gloves and head gear to heavy bags and speed bags, the Boxing category of the site has over 3,000 boxing-related products. It’s clear that books and DVDs aren’t the only things that they sell.
KarateDepot.com
Don’t let the name fool you, karate pants and nunchucks aren’t the only things they sell here. Like Amazon.com, you will find an abundance of discounted boxing equipment and gear, including helpful user ratings for each product. The site’s greatest feature is the ability to search for products by a wider range of categories than you will find on most sites. Specifically, you can sort products by brand, category, color, material, price and size.
SportsAuthority.com
Lastly, I wanted to highlight a more conventional sporting goods retail site. On the surface, one would not think that the Sports Authority would have many products outside of the action and team sports arenas. Unlike much of the mainstream sports world, this mainstream sports retailer has not forgotten the boxing fan base. The boxing category is grouped under the Exercise & Fitness. We can thank folks like Billy Blanks and his tremendously popular Tae Bo program. The growing fitness market has increasingly demanded boxing-based techniques and work outs, and an established brand like Sports Authority naturally began filling their shelves in kind. Check them out to see what I mean.
There are many other sites that offer a similar inventory of boxing products. These stood out most to me because of the sheer volume of items, including all of the most popular brands (Everlast, Century). I hope this list is helpful. If there are any sites that I missed, please post your favorites via the comments form below.
