The agreement between HEXAGONE MMA and French equipment manufacturer METAL BOXE, which has lasted since the creation of the organisation, has been extended for the 2023 season. Quality gloves for ever more spectacular fights.

Since its very first event in July 2021, HEXAGONE MMA has been offering its fighters equipment from the METAL BOXE range. The partnership has been renewed for the 2023 season, symbolising a partnership that works. Throughout the year, the organisation’s athletes will be wearing French-designed gloves from France’s No. 1 brand.

“We’re very pleased with this long-term agreement with METAL BOXE, which is without doubt the best equipment manufacturer in the country,” says Jérôme Pourrut, co-founder of HEXAGONE MMA.
“Having quality gloves, appreciated by the fighters and produced by a French brand, is essential for an ambitious organisation like ours. This agreement between two of the country’s leading MMA players can only boost the sport.

A perfect blend of performance, quality and aesthetics, METAL BOXE has established itself over the years as a benchmark in martial arts in France. Distributed in over thirty countries, the brand’s equipment is acclaimed by amateur and professional athletes alike. It’s hardly surprising, then, to find them part of a top-level organisation.

For Jean-Jacques Cordomi and Marc Galinier, the co-founders of METAL BOXE, this partnership with HEXAGONE MMA is “ideal”.

“We needed a big league to develop our visibility, and we logically chose the best in the country. METAL BOXE originally made its name with its boxing accessories. This is an opportunity for us to develop our MMA range, especially as there is exponential interest in it at the moment.

For its seventh event, to be held on Saturday 11 March 2023 at the Arena Futuroscope in Poitiers, HEXAGONE MMA will be broadcast in France on the Wataaa television channel and in 150 countries around the world.

It then became obvious to deal with French #1 manufacturer in combat sports equipment. We are very confident that our fighters will be in best possible hands when it comes to MMA gloves with METAL BOXE products.
