Casanova Boxing
ActiveOverview
Casanova Boxing is a US-based retailer and brand selling boxing equipment, punching bags, MMA gear, and fitness apparel through casanovaboxing.com, with physical stores in Los Angeles and worldwide shipping. It offers products from various brands at wholesale prices, targeting professionals and enthusiasts. The brand markets professional-grade gloves and gear but has faced confusion with the historic Mexican Casanova Boxing due to past trademark litigation.
History
The original Casanova Boxing brand originated in Mexico City, established in 1948 as part of the local glove-making tradition. Pro Boxing Supplies trademarked 'Casanova' in the US, leading to litigation with the Mexican brand around a few years prior to 2023. The authentic Mexican Casanova rebranded to Necalli Boxing to continue operations.
Product Lines
| Product Line | Positioning | Price Range |

| Boxing Equipment | Pro-grade bags and gear | $50 - $300 |

Manufacturing
Products sold under Casanova Boxing, such as lace-up training gloves, are handmade from top grain cow leather and latex foam but manufactured in Pakistan, not Mexico as sometimes implied. Authentic Mexican Casanova gloves were produced in Mexico before the rebrand to Necalli.
Notable Products
- Casanova Professional Lace Up Training Gloves - Handmade cow leather gloves with wide pocket, extra forearm coverage, and wrist support for training and sparring.
- Casanova Boxing Gloves (PBS version) - Full-grain leather gloves marketed for professional use, made in Pakistan.
- Punching Bags - Heavy bags and equipment for boxing training.
- MMA Supplies - Gear including gloves and protective equipment for mixed martial arts.
Reputation
The US Casanova Boxing brand receives mixed feedback; enthusiasts note decent leather construction and affordability but criticize misleading claims about Mexican origin since products are Pakistan-made. Past trademark disputes have damaged trust among those seeking authentic heritage gear, leading many to prefer the rebranded Necalli for true Mexican quality. Professionals value the wrist support in lace-up models for sparring.
