IBF Heavyweight Champion of the World and Olympic gold medallist Anthony Joshua and Under Armour have extended their partnership agreement.
The new partnership was sealed at Under Armour’s Global headquarters in Baltimore this week, where Joshua spent time with the brand’s founder, Kevin Plank, before a visit to the UA Lighthouse where Under Armour develops the products.
Joshua said: “It is a partnership that has been incredibly successful to date, the brand has helped me increase performance with custom products and new technologies. I was blown away by the facilities and attention to detail I saw in Baltimore and I am looking forward to the future with Under Armour.”
Chris Bate, vice -president and managing director Europe, Under Armour, added: “Anthony Joshua is an incredible athlete and is redefining how boxers prepare, perform and recover. He personifies smart training while possessing a young, aggressive and fearless attitude which matches the values and culture of Under Armour.
“During his preparation for the Klitschko fight and beyond, we will equip Anthony with our most innovative performance products including our Threadborne technologies and Connected Fitness footwear and platforms. We are thrilled to have Anthony as part of the Under Armour team.”
Joshua will now head back in to training camp to prepare for the fight against Wladimir Klitschko on April 29 at a sold out 90,000 capacity crowd at Wembley Stadium, not to mention the millions who will be viewing across the globe.
