Specifications
Suitable for
- Boxing
- Kickboxing
For training and sparring in kickboxing's contact disciplines, not point fighting. Venum says this genuine-leather glove suits bag work and sparring, and describes a long cuff for wrist support. Its hook-and-loop closure matches WAKO's closure rule: kickboxing gloves fasten at the wrist with self-adhesive strips (WAKO Rules 2022, Art. 2.3.1.4). But Venum does not describe it as a WAKO-approved or WAKO-labelled competition glove.
- Kung Fu (Sanda)
For Sanda training and sparring. Venum says this genuine-leather glove suits bag work and sparring, and describes a long cuff for wrist support. It comes in 8oz and 10oz, the two BCCMA Light Sanda glove weights: 8oz under 65kg and for women, 10oz for 65kg and over (Light Sanda rules 2024, Rule 11). Organisers may supply gloves, so check before you buy for a bout.
Our verdict
A higher-priced genuine-leather glove for bag work and sparring. Venum groups it under training, sparring and competition, but it is not a dedicated sparring glove. Venum is also not one of the glove brands England Boxing allows in its competitions.
Venum describes a full Nappa leather outer, handmade in Thailand, over multi-density foam, with an attached thumb, a long cuff for wrist support and a moisture-wicking lining.
Venum's category page groups the Giant 3.0 under 'Training, Sparring and Competition', and its marketing says the glove suits bag work, sparring and combat. Giant 3.0 is the glove's current name on venum.com: there is no 'Giant 3.9' model.
Intermediate-to-experienced boxers who want one higher-priced genuine-leather glove for bag work and sparring.
Buyers on a budget, or anyone wanting a dedicated single-purpose glove rather than an all-rounder. Boxers buying gloves for England Boxing competition: its rules allow six glove brands, and Venum is not one of them. Its events also have approved 10oz and 12oz gloves available (England Boxing Rules 2026, Rule 8.2.5 and Annexes A1 and A2).
Pros
- Genuine full Nappa leather construction, handmade in Thailand per the manufacturer
- Venum says it suits both bag work and sparring, so it is not a single-purpose glove
Cons
- Venum's listings disagree on the foam: one page says triple-density, another quadruple-density
- Premium price point
- Genuine leather needs more care than a synthetic glove: a trade-off rather than a defect
Why we rated it this way
Protection (4): Venum describes genuine leather over a multi-density foam system, padding above the usual level for a training glove. Its listings differ on whether the foam is triple- or quadruple-density.
Comfort (4): long cuff, attached thumb and moisture-wicking lining are specific, genuine comfort/support details.
Materials & Construction (3): Venum states a genuine leather outer, which is a step above the usual outer. Otherwise it is the normal build for training and sparring gloves.
Value (3): A premium price for a handmade nappa-leather glove with multi-density foam, per Venum, which is what gloves at this price normally offer.
