Combat Sports

Champion combat sports clothing for training

Champion Combat Sports brings together combat sports clothing for men and women, styles from the Champion x Katie Taylor collection and unisex boxing trainers. The range includes technical T-shirts, compression tops, shorts, leggings and sports bras, alongside the Box Tech Pro Mid Cut trainers. If you are looking for boxing clothing or MMA clothing, this collection brings several garment types together in one place.

The products cover different parts of a combat sports wardrobe, from training tops and compression styles to shorts and footwear. Each item has its own cut, construction and stated features, so the range is easy to explore by the type of piece you need. The collection also includes selected sweatshirts and hoodies that bring the Champion Combat look into everyday outfits.

Men’s combat sports clothing

Technical T-shirts and compression tops

Men’s Combat styles include technical T-shirts, a long-sleeve compression top and a short-sleeve compression T-shirt. The long-sleeve top gives you a different coverage option from a short-sleeve style, while the technical T-shirts offer a straightforward training top. These pieces sit alongside other men’s combat clothing in the collection, so you can choose between a close-fitting top and a more familiar T-shirt shape.

One short-sleeve compression top in the range was co-developed with UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall and undisputed super-lightweight champion Katie Taylor. It is made from 190 g/m² Tricot, with a composition of 78% polyester and 22% elastane. C-Dry Quick Dry technology supports sweat management and fast drying, while 4-Way Stretch and an anatomical cut follow the body’s movement. These specifications apply to this selected style.

Combat shorts and leggings

The men’s range includes Combat shorts in stretch fabric, compression shorts and 2-in-1 compression shorts, as well as compression leggings. The product names make the differences clear: some styles are listed as stretch shorts, while others specify a compression fit or a 2-in-1 construction. This makes it easier to compare the available men’s MMA clothing and combat training shorts without treating every style as the same type of garment.

For other technical training pieces, explore Champion men’s Activewear. This category brings together further training clothing and footwear, including styles listed for gym, training and combat sports.

Women’s combat clothing and the Katie Taylor collection

Women’s Combat clothing includes a sports bra, a tank top, compression T-shirts, a long-sleeve compression top, compression shorts and compression leggings. The selection also includes Combat shorts, giving you a choice of shorter and longer bottoms alongside different top shapes. The collection’s product names identify which pieces are compression styles and which are listed as standard Combat garments.

The Champion x Katie Taylor collection adds a different mix of women’s sportswear and casual pieces. It includes hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, T-shirts, a technical crop top, 25-inch technical leggings, 2-in-1 technical shorts, training tight shorts and a sports bra with removable cups. The capsule is recognisable by its Katie Taylor name, while the Combat pieces are listed under the Combat range.

What does compression mean in Combat clothing?

A compression garment has a close-fitting construction designed to sit near the body. In the Champion Combat range, the term appears on selected tops, shorts and leggings. A compression fit is different from the cut of a standard technical T-shirt or stretch short, and it does not describe every piece in the collection.

The short-sleeve Combat compression top developed with Tom Aspinall and Katie Taylor adds product-specific details: 4-Way Stretch, an anatomical cut and C-Dry Quick Dry technology. Its compression fabric is described as supporting the muscles during training. Other garments in the collection have their own stated construction, so the compression features should be associated with the styles that carry that description.

Some men’s and women’s shorts are also labelled 2-in-1. This identifies selected styles within the range, alongside Combat shorts that are not described as 2-in-1. The product names distinguish these options from compression shorts and stretch shorts.

Unisex boxing trainers: Box Tech Pro Mid Cut

The footwear in the Combat Sports collection includes the unisex Box Tech Pro Mid Cut trainers. This mid-cut combat shoe has a lightweight structure, a polyester fabric upper and a Shock Absorber insole. Side cut-outs support agility and movement, while a stabiliser and the Hi-Traction sole help maintain a stable base. Lace-up fastening and the side Champion logo complete the design.

These boxing trainers sit alongside the clothing range, making the collection relevant to searches for combat sports shoes as well as training apparel. The product is listed as unisex, while the clothing selection includes separate men’s and women’s styles. Trainers and clothing therefore form distinct parts of the range, each with its own product details.

How to find your way around the Combat collection

Choose by garment type and fit

Start with the type of item you are looking for: a technical T-shirt, compression top, sports bra, tank, shorts, leggings or trainers. Then compare the naming used for each style. “Compression”, “stretch” and “2-in-1” identify specific product constructions in the range; they are not general labels for all Champion Combat clothing.

The range spans men’s, women’s and unisex products. Men’s and women’s Combat garments are listed separately, while the Box Tech Pro Mid Cut trainers are unisex. The Champion x Katie Taylor collection adds its own women’s styles, including technical and casual pieces. These distinctions help you navigate combat sports clothing by fit, item type and collection.

Combat sports style beyond training

Alongside technical training tops and bottoms, the collection features hoodies, sweatshirts and T-shirts from the Katie Taylor capsule. These pieces bring the collection’s combat-inspired graphics and branding into casual outfits. They can be styled with joggers, shorts or other everyday wardrobe staples, depending on the look you want to create.
