With over 70 years of history, Leone 1947 is one of the most iconic brands in the world of combat sports. Founded in March 1947 in Milan, Italy, by Orlando Leone, the brand was born with a clear objective: to create top-quality equipment for boxers. With experience in the manufacture and trade of leather goods, Orlando designed his first boxing gloves, which quickly became the favorites of most Italian boxers of the time.
Since then, Leone has continuously evolved, and today, under the leadership of the third generation of the family, it has expanded its presence internationally. Its catalog has diversified, offering not only boxing gloves but also specialized equipment for MMA, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai, as well as a line of sports and casual apparel that reflects Italian elegance and style.
Leone 1947 is undoubtedly the leading brand in Italy in the world of combat sports, and its reputation has been strengthened thanks to the support of some of the best fighters on the planet. Among its most recognized ambassadors are Giorgio and Armen Petrosyan, Gago Drago, Artur Kyshenko, Alessio Sakara, and Lena Ovchynnikova, who rely on the quality and performance of its products.
In 2021, Leone launched a high-end boxing product line under the name Leone Sport. The spectacular gloves from this Leone Sport line are always handmade in Italy with the best leather on the market and have been customized for several European and even world champions to use in their fights: Anthony Joshua, Francis Ngannou, Katie Taylor, Kiko Martinez, Samuel "La Esencia" Molina...
What sets Leone apart is its meticulous attention to materials and craftsmanship, combined with the refined Italian fashion sense. Its equipment not only provides exceptional performance, but also stands out for its elegant and sophisticated design, making it the ideal choice for fighters of all levels, from amateurs to world champions.
Leone 1947 remains a benchmark in the world of combat sports, keeping alive its legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, passion, and Italian fashion.
