Boxing Glove Having an Integrated Access Flap to Facilitate Cleaning and Sanitation

Abstract

A boxing glove having an integrated access flap includes a glove main body, a thumb-receiving section, a hand-receiving opening, a securing strap. The thumb receiving section is integrated into the glove main body to receive the user's hand. The securing strap is also integrated into the glove main body to tighten the boxing glove. The glove main body includes an access flap and an elongated opening to facilitate cleaning and sanitation of the boxing glove. The access flap is integrated into the glove main body from an end and positioned atop the elongated opening from a volar surface of glove main body. The access flap is integrated into the glove main body through a first flap fastener and a second flap fastener so that the user is able to open the access flap as desired.
