Tonight, one of the year's biggest fights will take place at The Oracle, when hometown hero Andre Ward (25-0) squares off against Chad Dawson (31-1) for the unified super middleweight title. Dawson, dropping down to 168, is coming off an April victory over future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins. Ward last fought in December, when he won the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament with a unanimous decision over Carl Froch. Both are ranked in Ring Magazine's Top 10 Pound-for-Pound Fighters List.

For tonight's bout, the Jordan Brand worked on this custom ring gear for Ward. The boots, jacket and shorts feature an obsidian, white and gold-accented color scheme. S.O.G. lettering is a reference to Andre's nickname, Son of God.

Ward/Dawson airs tonight at 9:45 p.m. EST on HBO.

So Ward was with Jordan earlier in his career then switched to Everlast. And now back to Jordan?

not sure, i've never really paid attention to it. i guess he's sponsored by everlast for gloves, but like any other sponsorship, he's gets to use their clothing and other products (why he gets his trunks done by them most of the time). but i've seen him fight in different shoes:

reeboks against green and abraham (even training with them):

i guess he doesn't have a permanent shoes sponsor or something. i've always assumed he was sponsored by everlast and JB together though.

I think the story goes something like he was with Jordan before the Super Six, but his contract ended. Then he went with Everlast, but most people will tell you their shoes suck. Hence why he wore different shoes. But these Jordan shoes are the very same Nike's he wore vs Bika just rebranded.
