History
In 2009, at 22 years old, avid boxer Ali Mahvan was unhappy with available boxing equipment and pricing at the time. In 2010, he founded his own boxing equipment line with partner Nicole Sciancalepore and began developing gloves and
other accessories. Using his own fighting experience and boxing history, he tried to develop equipment that would be comfortable and perform well.
In January, they released their first line of training gloves. On February 19th, 2011, they released their first professional fight gloves, the Fuel Pro Fight Glove. Initially, the padding in the gloves held up well, but Mahvan still
thought they wore down too quickly. After going back to the drawing board, Fuel Fight Gear released their trademark Fuel X2 Sparring Gloves, followed by the Fuel X2 Pro Fight Glove line.
