Solid value for the protection offered.
Where to Buy
Intended Use
Who This Is For
The Fly Knight 2 sits next to the Gladiator 2 in the Fly premium tier — same Italian leather, same Nappa interior, same eco-suede forehead panel. The differentiator is the silhouette: the Knight 2 has been redesigned with a more compact, ergonomic shape that contours to facial structure and delivers a smaller profile for enhanced visibility. Where the Gladiator 2 is built around strap-secured cheek protection, the Knight 2 is built around vision and ergonomics — for fighters who prioritize being able to see hooks coming over maximum cheek isolation. Both are at the same price point. Same UK construction, same premium materials, different design philosophy. Pick the Knight 2 if visibility matters most.
Who It's Not For
- Buyers wanting maximum cheek isolation (use Gladiator 2 instead)
- Budget buyers
- Amateur competition use
