The one and only Mike Tyson, the most feared boxer, has been spotted training on Instagram wearing the new Hit N Move Air Armor Precision Headgear.

Known for his relentless intensity and explosive style, Tyson brings his unrivaled presence to this revolutionary helmet, which aims to provide protection worthy of a champion. Designed with validation support from Virginia Tech labs, the Air Armor Precision helmet strives to offer superior protection, fit, and style.

How is this possible?

Well, after 3 years of development through testing, remodeling, and tuning in collaboration with Virginia Tech (a respected helmet testing center), the team has created one of the smallest cheek protectors on the market. It aims to deliver a similar level of protection as the classic Japanese model despite being a fraction of the thickness.

With innovative patent-pending micro-padding technology, the helmet is designed to disperse impact across the padding, helping to reduce the concentrated force on your brain.

Unlike traditional padding, which mainly absorbs the impact and may allow more force to concentrate in one area, potentially increasing the risk of injury, this helmet strives to provide enhanced protection.

But the potential for incredible protection is not the only thing that makes this helmet special.

Enhanced Vision

Thanks to highly durable padding, this helmet requires a smaller size than other traditional helmets. Therefore, it may have minimal impact on your peripheral vision, which can help you see your partner’s punches more clearly.

Reduced Weight

In addition to potentially improving visibility, the reduced padding means this helmet is designed to weigh less than a traditional Japanese helmet. So you may be able to see those big shots and may move out of the way quicker without the extra weight.

Improved Temperature Control

Plus, thanks to its reduced weight and size, this helmet is designed to retain less heat than others, helping keep you cool and comfortable longer without your head feeling overheated.

Where Can I Buy This Headgear

This headgear is available on several platforms, depending on your location. While any country can purchase it directly from Hit N Move’s website, keep in mind that all orders ship from Virginia, USA. If you’re outside the United States and eager to get your hands on one sooner, here are some regional stores that carry this headgear: 

UK: Sugar Ray Fight Store, Second Out Fight Store, and Mad Dogs Boxing
Australia: MMA Apparel

The Founder

The Founder/CEO of Hit N Move and inventor of the Air Armor Precision headgear is Ozhan Akcakaya. With the help of his wife, Alaina Akcakaya, the two of them are working to establish a strong reputation in the boxing gear industry with a focus on constant innovation and improvement.

Together, they have developed and perfected tools such as:

• Double-sided turtle mitts to help protect coaches’ joints and allow them to catch punches in more natural hand positions.
• DR-T Padding that aims to allow athletes to hit the bag and spar with the same glove without significant padding deterioration.
• 24oz conditioning gloves that, unlike traditional hand weights, are designed to prevent compromising punching form or adding strain to ligaments in the rotator cuff, while being the same size as 16oz gloves.
• Genuine Horse Hair boxing gloves with cutting-edge technology to support safer training with old-school boxing gloves.

With many more innovations on the way, including some shared on Ozhan’s Instagram page @ozhanakcakaya, Hit N Move is making strides in the boxing gear market one innovation at a time. The only question left to ask is…

What game-changing innovation is next?
