    As a beginner in boxing, having the right equipment is crucial for safety and performance. First, you'll need a good pair of boxing gloves. For beginners, gloves with adequate padding, typically between 12-16 oz, are ideal to protect your hands during training. Hand wraps are equally important, as they provide wrist and knuckle support, reducing the risk of injury. Brands like "Wyox Sports" offer quick hand wraps that add an extra layer of protection, which is great for newcomers.

    In addition to gloves and wraps, investing in a mouthguard is necessary if you plan on sparring. It helps protect your teeth and jaw from potential impacts. Boxing shoes are another essential item, offering ankle support and enhancing your footwork, which is vital in boxing.

    Finally, don’t forget basic protective gear like headgear and a groin protector, especially if you’re going to spar. These items help prevent serious injuries, allowing you to train more confidently and safely. Having the right gear from the start ensures that you can focus on improving your skills without worrying about unnecessary injuries.
