Do I need IBA-approved hand wraps for competition?

IBA rules require hand wraps to meet specific specifications in sanctioned amateur competitions — typically a maximum 2.5-metre length for amateur bouts, though requirements can vary. Using IBA-approved wraps ensures you meet equipment regulations. Check your specific event's rules for the required wrap length for your weight class.

What length hand wrap should I choose?

For competition, refer to your federation's rules — IBA typically specifies maximum wrap length per weight class. For training: 2.5-metre wraps suit smaller hands and basic protection; 3.5-metre wraps are the most common general training length; 4.5-metre wraps provide maximum coverage and are preferred by larger fighters or those who prefer extra wrist support. If unsure, choose 3.5 metres.

How do I wrap my hands correctly?

Start with the thumb loop over your thumb, then wrap around the wrist 2–3 times for foundational support. Continue around the palm and then across the knuckles, figure-eight between the fingers for individual finger support, and finish with additional wraps around the knuckles and wrist before securing with the hook-and-loop closure. The wrap should be firm but not tight enough to restrict circulation.

Can I use these wraps for training as well as competition?

Yes — the IBA Hand Wraps are suitable for daily training under standard boxing gloves as well as competition. The 30% cotton / 70% nylon blend is machine washable and durable enough for regular training use. Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and air dry to maintain the wrap's integrity.
