RIVAL Boxing RS1 2.0 Ultra Pro Sparring Gloves

The RIVAL brand was founded in 2003 by veteran boxing trainer and cutman, Russ Anber, with a promise to "reinvent the industry" by implementing innovations and ideas he had acquired over 25 years in the boxing game, including 13 years of experience in introducing and selling foreign boxing brands to the Canadian market.

RIVAL's recipe for success has been characterized by the outstanding quality and durability of its products, achieved without copying, stealing, or infringing on anyone's intellectual property. Each top-of-the-line product RIVAL has produced since its launch in 2003 has been based on original ideas and unique, innovative designs.

The list of fighters who have used RIVAL's wide range of gloves, equipment, and attire is impressive, including countless current and former world champions such as Vasiliy Lomachenko, Eleider Beterbiev, and the first boxer to wear RIVAL gloves in a World Championship fight on HBO, former WBC World Light-Heavyweight Champion Jean Pascal.

Among the proudest landmarks in RIVAL's history was the Tony Bellew versus Isaac Chilemba WBC eliminator, which was the first time two professional boxers faced each other wearing complete RIVAL attire and RIVAL pro fight gloves on foreign soil. Another incredible night was Oleksandr Usyk versus Murat Gassiev, with both boxers wearing RIVAL gloves as they fought for the undisputed cruiserweight championship of the world.

Over the years, RIVAL's reputation as a cutting-edge, technologically-driven, design-oriented company has shaken up the boxing equipment world, with many companies redesigning their line, their look, and borrowing RIVAL's innovations in an effort to emulate what the company has achieved. It is a testament to the strength of the RIVAL family that many of the staff who began with the company back in 2003 are still in place today.

The RS1 Ultra Sparring Glove is the crown jewel of the RIVAL line and the true RIVAL Original on which the company was founded. Manufactured with a new, ultra-resistant, upgraded outside Microfibre, the improved RS1 2.0 continues to offer the performance, durability, and quality that customers have come to know for over 20 years.

After listening to their closest and most trusted customers, RIVAL has reshaped and streamlined the RS1 2.0 to give users maximum comfort and an exquisite fit, while also refreshing its look to mark the new generation of this glove. The RS1 Ultra Sparring Glove has been designed with the professional in mind since its inception and remains the pro's choice, incorporating RIVAL's unique and original innovation, the Angled Lace Track System, which provides the perfect "lace-up" fit and stability, and has become a signature look for the brand.
