Rival Boxing Equipment. Technical Boxing Gear. "The Coach" Russ Anber has designed a range of the most technically advanced boxing ranges out there. The quality of the products is second to none. Rival was was created because they felt the time has come to re-invent the boxing equipment industry and they have certainly achieved that. Ever since Babe Ruth hit his 714th home run the baseball equipment industry was driven to provide the consumer with better and better products each and every year. When Jacques Plante invented the first mask for goaltenders he began a revolution which would continue on to this day. Technology now played a major role in the development of equipment and nowhere was this more evident than in the running shoe industry. Those companies knew that technology, materials, style and design were now the major factors in the production of high-end sporting goods. It is with this concept in mind that we proudly bring to you, RIVAL BOXING GEAR, as well as the innovations that have gone into their products.
