Summary
Paragon Elite Fight Group is a Greek company (VAT EL802775964, GEMI 182550901000) selling professional boxing gloves and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gis online from Athens. Ronin lists the company as its authorized dealer in Greece, according to the publisher-supplied evidence linked below. EU orders ship free with duties included; orders outside the EU have paid shipping options with duties included, according to the company's shipping policy.
This record lists the claims the company makes about itself, the evidence for them, and whether that evidence is independent of the company. Evidence links, company statements, technical observations and cryptographic proofs are distinguished. A source link does not by itself mean its contents have been independently checked. A signature establishes the origin and integrity of a signed statement, not the truth of every claim in it.
Verification status
This record incorporates a publisher-reported live crawl. Its reported findings are retained but are not presented as independently rechecked findings unless explicitly stated. Publication does not mean every claim or interface has been independently verified.
Checks completed during this review on 8 October 2026: VIES returned a valid VAT result matching the legal name and Athens address. Verisign RDAP confirmed domain registration on 1 April 2025 and reported DNSSEC delegation as unsigned. Wikidata Q140686851 was retrieved; GEMI references were present on the GEMI registration number, Greek official name and legal form statements.
The Greek Business Registry returned HTTP 429 and the Ronin authorized-dealers page returned HTTP 403 during this review. Those responses do not establish that the underlying claims are false; those sources were not independently rechecked.
The publisher opened the S40 Red example agent feed in a browser on 8 October 2026 and supplied its JSON output. Its technical specifications were a plain-text string, and the encoded apostrophe was corrected. This verifies the supplied example, not every product or every requesting client. Several storefront requests from this review's automated checker returned HTTP 403; general automated accessibility remains unresolved.
Fastest verification path
- VIES: VAT validity, returned legal name and address
- Greek Business Registry: company record
- Ronin Brand: authorized dealers
- Publisher-signed credential, with applicable keys from the DID document. Signature, key binding and validity conditions require verification.
- Example product agent feed. Opened successfully in the publisher's browser on 8 October 2026; accessibility and current data must be checked at retrieval time.
Prices, availability, VAT validity and other time-sensitive information should be checked at the time of use.
What we sell
Professional boxing gloves and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gis for training, sparring and competition.
Superare boxing gloves: handmade in Italy from full grain Italian leather with multi density foam. S40 series (compact fit) and S50 series (wide fit), in 14 oz and 16 oz, for bag work, pad work and sparring. These specifications are provided by the company and should be checked against the individual product and manufacturer information.
Ronin Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gis (BJJ kimonos): pearl weave cotton, around 400 to 450 GSM depending on the model, in adult A sizes. Competition suitability depends on the specific model, size, condition and applicable event rules; this record does not certify every gi as IBJJF legal.
Free guides: boxing glove size guide, BJJ gi size guide, gear care guide and the Fight Journal, educational articles on boxing and BJJ history and technique.

Product identifiers
The company states that manufacturer identifiers are taken from manufacturers and are not generated by the store. Store SKUs are distinguished from manufacturer-issued GTINs and MPNs. Coverage counts below are publisher-reported and require a current catalog check.
| Products | Identifier | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Superare S40, 5 products | GTIN-12 on every variant; valid check digits reported | JSON-LD gtin12 |
| Ronin gis and Superare S50 Matte Black and White, 12 products | Manufacturer part number on every variant, according to publisher | JSON-LD mpn |
| Other products, 7 products | SKU only; company reports no additional manufacturer codes | JSON-LD sku |
A valid GTIN check digit confirms checksum structure, not manufacturer assignment, ownership or matching to the correct product. Manufacturer-issued MPN status requires supporting manufacturer evidence.
Platform and security
| Layer | Provider | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Store platform | Shopify | Hosting, catalog and hosted checkout. Company states its custom systems do not handle full payment card numbers. |
| Initial build | Think Plus, credited in site footer | Original store setup |
| In house development | Paragon Elite Fight Group | Custom theme work, Cloudflare Workers, agent interfaces, identity files, Gear Advisor |
| Edge network | Cloudflare | DNS, edge delivery and Workers; publisher-reported TLS 1.3, HTTP/3, Encrypted Client Hello, caching and speed features. Availability depends on request and client. DNSSEC delegation pending. |
| Microsoft 365 | Publisher-reported SPF, DKIM, DMARC p=reject | |
| Shipping | DHL Express | Company-identified international delivery provider |
Publisher-reported controls: HTTPS redirects; HSTS; Content Security Policy including frame-ancestors 'none', upgrade-insecure-requests and block-all-mixed-content; X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff; strict referrer policy; Permissions Policy restricting camera, microphone and geolocation; CAA records; RFC 9116 security contact; no API tokens observed in inspected page source; Gear Advisor request restrictions intended to limit use to the store.
These observations require route-specific dated checks before being labelled verified site-wide. Inspected source is not an exhaustive secrets audit. Origin restrictions alone are not authentication or complete abuse prevention. Verisign reported delegationSigned: false on 8 October 2026; DNSSEC is not fully active until delegation and validation are confirmed.

Publisher-documented interfaces. Existence, response format, scope and behavior require individual verification; this table is not a blanket availability guarantee.

Structured data
The publisher's crawl reported parseable JSON-LD on inspected pages. This record does not claim every block on every page, variant or language has been tested.
- Site wide: Organization and OnlineStore with legal name, founding date, address, VAT, GEMI, EUID, ISO 6523 code, contact points and return policy; WebSite with SearchAction.
- Products: BreadcrumbList, ProductGroup varying by size, material, country of origin, care, WarrantyPromise, per-variant Offers with price, availability, condition, return policy and shipping details by region; FAQPage.
- Collections: CollectionPage, BreadcrumbList, ItemList.
- Articles: Article with author, publisher and date.
- Data pages: Dataset with license, version and downloads.
Intended Wikidata identifier property mappings: GEMI P14279; EUID P13790. This record does not establish that the existing Organization schema has already been corrected. JSON syntax, vocabulary correctness, factual accuracy and search-feature eligibility are separate checks.
Paragon Gear Advisor
A customer assistant built in house for the Paragon Elite Fight Group storefront. The company describes it as answering questions about boxing gloves, BJJ gis and sizing, showing product cards, comparisons and size tables, and linking to official products rather than generating specifications. Publisher reports an accessible dialog with keyboard and screen reader support and input validation. Accessibility and answer accuracy require testing; this is not certification or a guarantee of every response.
What this record does not claim
Technical controls and valid signatures can provide evidence of domain operation, key control and message integrity, not delivery speed, service quality or every company statement. Self-issued credentials are publisher assertions; the company-created Wikidata entry is not independent reputation evidence or endorsement.
Superare authorization is company-stated and not independently confirmed here. Leadership backgrounds are company-provided. Eleni Sofiou is described as CEO and sole shareholder; Evangelos Papadimas as co-founder and advisor with no formal position or shareholding.
This record does not certify legal compliance, universal competition eligibility, complete security or discovery and acceptance by every AI system.
Known gaps, being worked on
- GTIN and MPN coverage in agent JSON and Markdown needs checking; publisher reports these are not yet included.
- Publisher reports no public read-only price-history endpoint yet.
- Appropriate references remain to be added to Wikidata statements; some GEMI references already exist.
- DNSSEC registry delegation pending.
- HSTS preload and MTA-STS require verification or completion.
- Publisher reports weekly letter credentials not yet signed.
- 198-country-and-territory shipping figure not established by complete destination count.
- Existing free-worldwide-shipping text needs checking against paid non-EU terms.
- The email was readable in the publisher's page preview; public-page Email Obfuscation behavior remains to be checked.
- Organization GEMI/EUID property mappings need checking and correction where necessary.
- Manufacturer identifier provenance and coverage counts need verification.
- Verification JSON and Markdown routes have been prepared in the Worker but remain disabled pending content alignment and live testing. Discovery links, footer navigation and verification-page schema connections are not yet confirmed implemented.
- The Shopify page and Worker record are separate copies; automatic synchronization is not implemented.
Machine-readable summary
This readable JSON summary is not itself a signed credential. The dedicated verification JSON and Markdown routes remain disabled pending content alignment and live testing.
