Anthony Joshua's partnership with Under Armour began in 2015. The brand supplied the former two-time unified heavyweight champion with ring and training apparel.

The 36-year-old pugilist renewed his deal with the brand in March 2024, shortly before his crossover boxing bout against Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion. Joshua won the fight by second-round knockout.

Meanwhile, Juan Soto has been sponsored by Under Armour since 2018. He often wears the brand's custom cleats and gloves during MLB games.

Shortly after Soto signed the record $765 million contract with the Mets, the brand introduced the "Icon TPU K.O.D." cleats for him. K.O.D stands for "King of the Diamonds." The outfielder's personal pair is customized for the Mets.

The 27-year-old Dominican also uses gloves from the Under Armour Yard line. Soto's custom pair has his signature "Soto shuffle" written on the list. He also uses a custom Belgard leg guard, which is exclusively made for him.

Juan Soto's former teammate was also at the Kaseya Center

Celebrities from different walks of life watched Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua live from the Kaseya Center. Juan Soto was the biggest name from MLB at the event. His former Mets teammate, Starling Marte, accompanied him.

On Saturday, Marte shared a multi-snap post on his Instagram from the event. He captioned the post with a motivational message.

"With God at the forefront, focused and grateful. I work in silence, with discipline and hunger for greatness. I only compete with the best version of me. The Best Is Yet To Come. 🙏🏾💪🏾," Marte wrote.

Marte is currently a free agent. He played for the Mets from 2022 to 2025. The two-time All-Star slugger was one of Soto's closest friends in the Mets' clubhouse. Soto once even hailed the 37-year-old Dominican as the leader of the Mets.
