Ozhan Akcakaya Doesn’t Make Boxing Gear. He Fixes What’s Broken

Ozhan Akcakaya Doesn’t Make Boxing Gear. He Fixes What’s Broken

Boxing is unforgiving.


One punch can change. Or end a career.

So once you become serious, proper gear is crucial.

Despite this, for decades, the industry has ignored the needs of fighters choosing to produce: 

  • Same molds. 

  • Same designs. 

  • New logos. 

  • Bigger ad budgets. 

  • Zero real progress.

New story. Bigger price tag. Same limitations.

Ozhan Akcakaya saw it when he was training for an amatuer tournaments, and it became extremely clear when he was training at home during the COVID lockdown. Frustrated and annoyed, he decided it was unacceptable.

That decision became Hit N Move.

The Roots: Boxing Deserves Better

Most brands sell the illusion of innovation. Coupling their launch with cool vids and big names to distract you from the unoriginal design.

Hit N Move stands for the exact opposite.

Spending the time and money to hire medical professionals, test each iteration, and gather feedback from world-class fighters and coaches.

No investors with there corperate compromise.


No budget saving shortcuts.

Just one standard: Innovate Boxing

Products That Exist Because the Old Ones Failed

Compact 12 Power

A 12 oz glove is built the same size as an 8 oz fight-glove.

Originally designed to be worn by Gervonta Davis in his exhibition against Jake Paul. After training in the gloves to get used to them, his coach reported that these gloves are actually great for training as well as the exhibition fight.

Why?

  • They train power without distorting punch mechanics

  • Preserving timing, accuracy, and fight feel

  • Solving the long-standing lie that “heavier gloves = better power training”

12oz protection. 8oz Precision.

Turtle Mitts

Light. Balanced. Brutally efficient.

Inspired by a real turtle shell and how it distributes weight.
Iterated over 14 months with multiple failed prototypes.

The result:

  • Reduced coach fatigue

  • Faster reaction cycles

  • Became a staple for elite trainers, including Calvin Ford

No gimmick. Just physics done right.


Precision Headgear

Ultra-light. Clinically tested.

Validated by Virginia Tech Labs.

  • Multi-layer micro padding

  • Protection where it matters most

  • Zero restriction to movement or awareness

Safety without turning your head into a brick.

Face Saver Headgear

Everything face-savers usually get wrong. Fixed.

  • Slimmer

  • Lighter

  • Unheard-of peripheral vision, validated by ophthalmologists

Same padding system as Precision Headgear.
Proof that protection does not require performance sacrifice.

Pro Fist Gloves

Designed with orthopedic surgeons.

Built around actual fist anatomy, not factory convenience.

  • Promoting proper punching mechanics

  • Reduced injury risk

  • More efficient force delivery

  • Aerodynamic shaping inspired by darts

Biomechanics > outdated tradition.

24oz Gloves

Conditioning gloves without damage.

  • Same silhouette as 16 oz

  • Added weight without bulk

  • Eliminates strain caused by oversized training gloves and hand weights

Harder training. Fewer broken hands.

Why Hit N Move Is Different (And Stays That Way)

Ozhan doesn’t answer to investors.
He answers to fighters.

That independence is the difference.

Every design choice has the same motives:

  • Does it improve mechanics?

  • Does it reduce injury?

  • Does it respect the sport?

If the answer isn’t yes, it’s back to the drawing board.

Trust Earned, Not Bought

Hit N Move didn’t grow on hype.
It grew because fighters felt the difference.

World champions. Elite trainers. Serious amateurs.

No loud promises.
No influencer fluff.

Just gear that works and keeps working.

That’s not marketing.

That’s reputation.
