Rank #3 in Best MMA Gloves: 9 Ranked, and Three Listings That Contradict Themselves
Venum Challenger 3.0 MMA Sparring Gloves
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Venum Challenger 3.0 Sparring Gloves sit third in this guide at £49.99, with 4.5 stars from 2,159 ratings. It is a sparring glove in black, listed in size S, built around an injected foam core and a double Velcro closure.
The number that stands out on this sheet is weight: the spec table gives 400 g per item, against 200 g for the RDX F12 and 270 g for the WFX elsewhere in this guide — twice the weight of the first and getting on for one and a half times the second. The same table then lists the material as "Faux Leather" while the bullet directly above it describes "high quality synthetic leather", which is the same shell described two ways on one page. Two smaller oddities sit alongside: the listing counts 1.0 item with "Number of Items: 1", and the dimension field reads 9.6L x 12.5W centimetres, a length that sits awkwardly next to a 400 g glove. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the product; we have not put these gloves on and the numbers are the seller's, not ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“With these gloves the sizes can be abit deceiving, my last pair of gloves were RDX and their were Medium but Medium size on these venum gloves are massive ! So I went with small instead, other than the size thing? It's honestly one of the best gloves I've had !”
Verified purchase“Unfortunately had to return them as they were too small but still, they felt and looked great”
