As Ward's official fight brand partners, Monster Products, Life10 Electrolyte, Zappos, Lyft and JetLux will see activations of marketing and digital campaigns throughout training camp, Ward-Kovalev 2 "Fight Week" and coveted brand visibility on fight night. In addition to this innovative collection of American-based companies, Ward is also sponsored by long-time brand partners Shoe Palace and Jordan Brand.

"It's a great feeling to have the support of my brand partners going into this fight," said Ward. "I was fortunate to have a great group of sponsors, last November, and this time it's no different with companies like Monster Products, Lyft and Jetlux returning, and Life10 Electrolyte and Zappos coming onboard because they believe in me. I want to represent them all well.  I also want to thank Shoe Palace and Jordan Brand who have always been in my corner."

"Monster has delivered the 'Sound of Champions' since its inception 37 years ago and we are proud to be supporting Andre. Monster headphones and the Blaster speaker have helped motivate and inspire athletes to maximize their trainings and to help them get ready for competition. We look forward to have Andre representing us in this momentous fight," commented Noel Lee, Head Monster.

"Life10 is excited to be supporting Andre Ward on his journey to win his second Light Heavyweight title against Kovalev," said Lester Zeigler, Life10 Electrolyte Founder. "Being able to hydrate Andre with naturally alkaline water, with no additives or enhancements, to ensure his training remains at maximum level efficiency has been an honor. His poise, work ethic and determination are qualities Life10 Electrolyte will always stand behind."

"Lyft is excited to be Andre's official transportation partner-getting him safely and easily to the key events, as he prepares for his big fight," said Las Vegas General Manager Yacob Girma. "At Lyft, we are committed to connecting with our communities, and are happy to be a part of this milestone moment for Andre. The Lyft Las Vegas community is cheering him on!"

"Andre Ward's success and desire to only be the best closely aligns with our company's mission. And after last year's tittle win, we are excited to once again be Andre's official jet partner, in what will definitely be one of the best fights of the year. We wish Andre the best of luck!" said Tom Osovitzki, JetLux CEO.

"Zappos is sponsoring our third Andre Ward fight and this time as both a fight and Ward brand partner! By supporting events similar to this, it helps Zappos gain awareness amongst new and existing consumers. While there are many reasons we are fans of Andre Ward, there's one big reason that really hits home. Andre Ward is from the Bay area and San Francisco is the birthplace of Zappos," said Kristin Richmer, Senior Brand Marketing Manager.

"As a company, we believe in building connections and this is just another example of how our relationship with Roc Nation has really brought things full circle. We greatly appreciate the opportunities and continued support from Roc Nation and look forward to the future."
