York Fitness has launched its new range of boxing 'Fight Gloves' - Viper, Cobra and Raptor - designed to suit boxers from novice fighters through to professionals.

Viper Gloves are the favoured choice for the Bantam, Featherweight and Super-Featherweight classes due to their lighter, more flexible texture.

The new Viper Glove padding consists of an injection-moulded, foam insert that can be altered chemically to increase or reduce the rubber content - allowing for a wide range of soft-to-firm glove combinations.

Cobra is designed for high-impact, shorter-term performance; these gloves are created with Light, Light-Welter, Welter and Middle-Weights in mind.

A 'puncher-style' design, the Cobra Gloves combine different layers of foam and a reduced overall thickness, to allow for a more flexible, comfortable feel to the outer edge of the glove.

A brand new construction for York Fitness; the Raptor Gloves are targeted at the Cruiser, Light-Heavy and Heavy-Weight divisions.

These 'intelligent gloves' comprise padded layers; a combination of different shock-absorbent foam types that, when combined, incorporates an efficient memory.

Each Fight Glove is available in three sizes - 8oz, 10oz and 10oz XL; designed to a 'comfort fit'; and incorporates an antibacterial and anti-sweat lining.
