Abstract
A boxing glove includes a glove body defining a hand-receiving part for receiving a hand enclosed therein and a wrist-receiving part in communication with the hand-receiving part. The wrist-receiving part has a mouth opposite the hand-receiving part. The wrist-receiving part is configured to allow the hand to pass therethrough between the hand-receiving part and the mouth. The wrist-receiving part is configured to enclose the wrist of the hand when the hand is received in the hand-receiving part. The wrist-receiving part includes a slot defined by a pair of opposed sides which extend from the mouth toward the hand-receiving part. A pneumatic wrap is in contact with the glove body adjacent the pair of opposed sides for urging the opposed sides together when the pneumatic wrap is inflated.
