BECOOL / B2B
In August 2025, TOP TEN became an approved equipment manufacturer for World Boxing. Here is what that role means when preparing for competition.
HISTORY AND RULES.
An approved manufacturer, an approved product and the supplier to a particular event are different things. Understanding that distinction helps when selecting boxing equipment.
An agreement reached in 2025
On 19 August 2025, World Boxing announced TOP TEN as an Official Equipment Manufacturer. The federation describes independent technical and chemical testing of relevant boxing equipment, including gloves and headguards.
What the approval allows
The scheme makes TOP TEN eligible to tender for equipment supply at competitions covered by the agreement. That differs from being the designated supplier to particular championships. World Boxing explicitly distinguishes these roles in its announcement.
From approval to equipment selection
Start with the competition you plan to enter. Ask your coach to find the applicable rules and event invitation. Then establish which models are accepted, which variant you need and whether the organiser supplies gloves or other protection.
A product name may cover several sizes, weights and colours. Send the model number and a photo of the label when asking a dealer. This is more precise than asking for a generic “approved boxing glove”.
Training and competition
