xmas shopping for boxing fan

[shyjane]

Any ideas what to buy for a 10 year old boy who has just got into boxing, he goes to a boxing club twice a week?

Socks, tops, shorts? Posters?
A boxing film suitable for his age?

Film? DVD, alba, get in the 21st century.

any boxing tournament coming up in the area? tickets perhaps, might give him a taster of what a fight is like.

Got my son a boxing fitness book one xmas which he loved. You can get DVDs of most of the top boxers fights. Hand wraps are good and pretty cheap.

Thanks for these replies. I'm struggling to find anywhere that sells boxing clothing, for a boy aged 9/10. ive tried Sportsdirect and nothing. Also, what I do find is, some websites say xxs,s, etc for sizing. If i buy online I want to buy the size in age so I can almost guarantee it will fit. I much prefer to go on the high street but don't know where! Any ideas please?

He will look the part with a gum shield also a "must have" I imagine.

A free-standing punchball, mind you it will drive his parents mad.

He's getting a punchball/bag from his parents, so their fault, ha ha! I have already got him a dvd and a mug boxing theme but want to buy him a top and matching shorts.
