If your child has taken to boxing, you might be wanting to kit them out with all the clobber including boxing gloves, boots and of course, shorts.
While certainly not necessary to buy, boxing shorts will certainly help your child look and feel the part. That's why we've rounded up the best ones you can buy for children. You'll want to go for kids boxing shorts that are lightweight so your child can keep cool and move freely. Side slits also allow your little boxer to move without being fully restricted.
We'd recommend choosing ones with an elastic waistband or better yet, with a drawcord so you can ensure they fit perfectly.
