The new commercial partnership aligns Prince with BOXRAW, a fight gear brand that currently sponsors several prominent professional boxers, including his father's longtime heavyweight rival, Oleksandr Usyk, The Sun reported.
Prince announced the sponsorship on social media, publicly thanking BOXRAW while noting his rapid physical growth and his eagerness to secure his first official match.
"Just turned 15, 6 ft 2, 93 kg, and still growing. Looking for 1st boxing match soon," he wrote.

The announcement drew support from his family.
Tyson Fury commented: "Get up there kid, enjoy the building process."
"Look good son," his mother Paris said.
"Another king in the making," one fan wrote.
Three years ago, Tyson, nicknamed "Gypsy King," expressed doubt that any of his seven children would willingly pursue a career in professional boxing.
Prince has now followed his father's footsteps. He recently joined his father in Thailand to assist with training preparations ahead of Tyson's April bout against Russian heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov in London.
He is also scheduled to face long-time British rival Anthony Joshua in a heavyweight clash on Dec. 11.
