Gloves are red for the same reason spartans soldiers wore red coloured clothes. Its the colour of blood.

Why are most boxing gloves Red? Why do boxers fight with red gloves? Why not black? I've seen the Calzaghe v Mitchell fight (and what a fight by our boy, Joe) and they were wearing black gloves!

It looked much much better and nicer. Red is boring. Yellow gloves are worse.

So, in a match, can one fighter wear one colour gloves (preferable black) and the other another colour?

i like black or red. i like red better because its a classic

Red is crap. Black is beautiful.

Fighters are using custom colors now and they have gloves that match the color of their trunks. Jones Vs. Tarver 2 shows this, Tarver has blue gloves that match his trunks while Jones has grey gloves that match his trunks.
