Ray Ford Leads the New Everlast Elite Pro Campaign
For more than a century, Everlast has equipped the world's greatest fighters, building products that perform from the first day in the gym to the brightest lights on fight night. Now, Everlast introduces Elite Pro – a premium boxing equipment collection designed for athletes who demand professional-level performance without the ultra-premium price point.
Combining innovative design, advanced protection and competition-inspired craftsmanship, the Elite Pro range is built for serious fighters and trainers who put in the work every day. Its message is simple: Own It.
Leading the campaign is the former WBA Featherweight World Champion, Ray Ford, from Camden, New Jersey.
The Collection
Training at the renowned Prince Boxing Gym in Houston, Texas, Ray Ford has become one of boxing's most exciting talents through discipline, determination and relentless dedication to his craft. After a decorated amateur career, Ford transitioned into the professional ranks, establishing himself as one of the sport's elite featherweights before capturing the WBA Featherweight World Championship. Months after a small career set back, Ray is back int he gym - grinding - working on his imperfections to come back a better and more refined fighter. This mindset embodies the Elite Pro collection: a mastery to one’s craft.
Inspired by championship-level performance and built for everyday training, the range bridges the gap between professional craftsmanship (high-end materials, innovative protection and modern performance) and greater accessibility.
The collection includes gloves, headgear, groin guards, hand wraps, punch mitts and a heavy bag.
Elite Pro Gloves
At the heart of the collection are the Elite Pro Gloves. Ergonomically designed to mirror the fit, feel and natural hand position of Everlast's iconic MX Elite Fight Glove, they deliver an authentic competition-inspired experience every time you train.
Constructed from premium full-grain leather and featuring advanced C4 FOAM™ technology, the gloves provide exceptional protection, comfort and durability for daily use, whether you're hitting pads, working the heavy bag or sparring.
Elite Pro Headgear
The Elite Pro Headgear features Everlast's updated EVERSHIELD™ design, delivering secure, comfortable protection without sacrificing visibility or mobility.
Built for demanding sparring sessions and competition preparation, it helps fighters stay focused on performance - not their equipment.
Elite Pro Groin Guards
The Elite Pro Groin Guard combines advanced impact protection with a secure, ergonomic fit that allows unrestricted movement through every round.
A defining innovation within the range is Everlast's first female-focused groin guard, designed specifically around the needs of female athletes. Delivering targeted protection, enhanced comfort and unrestricted movement, it reflects Everlast's ongoing commitment to creating equipment that supports every fighter while driving innovation across the sport.
Own It
Success isn't built on fight night.
It's built through every early morning session, every hard spar and every round when nobody is watching. It's the dedication that drives champions like Ray Ford, whose journey has been shaped by discipline, resilience and a relentless commitment to becoming better every day.
The Everlast Elite Pro collection is made for fighters who embrace that process - combining premium performance, innovative protection and competition-inspired design to help athletes perform at their best every day.
Own It.
