Laced up and cocked to throw, this single red boxing glove is the boxing glove emoji, used straight for fight night, bout recaps, and training footage. But it's just as common as shorthand for fighting for something bigger: a cause, a comeback, a fight nobody expected someone to win.
What 🥊 means
A left-facing red boxing glove designed as a fist and wrapped with a seeming velcro band at the back. The 🥊 Boxing Glove emoji signifies boxing as a game and other use cases of the same, such as a punch or a physical fight.
How and when to use it
- If you're warning your buddy to stop making terrible jokes, please use 🥊! For example, "Omg, dude. For the last time, IT'S NOT FUNNY. Stop it before I punch you through the phone 🥊".
- In a similar context, you can use 🥊 to suggest that someone or yourself are offended - "Oof. That was below the belt, man🥊".
- Use 🥊 while talking about a fight in any context; a text message, a post caption, etc - "First rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club 🥊".
- If you're playfully (or not) instigating someone in a conversation, use 🥊. Like, "Or what? If I don't listen to you, what? You're gonna punch me, huh? 🥊" or "Come on, mate. Take me on 🥊".
- 🥊 works well even for the different variations of boxing such as kickboxing.
