RIVAL Boxing RB7 Fitness Plus Bag Gloves for Heavy Bag and Mitt Work

The Beginning

Founded in 2003 by Russ Anber, a seasoned boxing trainer and cutman, RIVAL emerged in the boxing equipment market with a mission to "reinvent the industry." Drawing from over 25 years of experience, including 13 years dedicated to the introduction and promotion of foreign boxing brands in Canada, Russ endeavored to implement innovative ideas and practices that would elevate the standards of boxing gear.

The Evolution

The secret to RIVAL's success lies in the unparalleled quality and durability of its products. This success has been achieved without resorting to any form of intellectual property infringement or copying. Every premier product RIVAL has launched since its inception in 2003 has stemmed from original concepts and unique, innovative designs.

RIVAL in the Ring: Part 1

RIVAL boasts an impressive roster of fighters who have chosen its extensive range of gloves, equipment, and attire. Notably, Jean Pascal, the former WBC World Light-Heavyweight Champion and the first boxer to don RIVAL gloves during a World Championship match on HBO, is just one of many current and former world champions who endorse the brand. Other boxing icons such as Vasiliy Lomachenko and Eleider Beterbiev have also followed in his footsteps, attesting to the brand's prominence in the sport.

RIVAL in the Ring: Part 2

One of the proudest moments in RIVAL's history took place during the face-off between Tony Bellew and Isaac Chilemba, a WBC eliminator. This match marked the first occasion that two professional boxers competed in full RIVAL gear and pro fight gloves on international turf. Another landmark event was the championship bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Murat Gassiev, where both fighters wore RIVAL gloves in their quest for the undisputed cruiserweight champion title.

Original RIVAL

Over the years, RIVAL has established itself as a frontrunner in technological advancement and design innovation within the boxing equipment industry. Its forward-thinking approach has prompted many competing brands to redesign their products to mimic the success of RIVAL's innovations. Furthermore, the loyalty of the RIVAL family is evident, as many employees from the company's early days in 2003 continue to play pivotal roles today.
