You can’t say Winter Haven boxer Andre Berto has a one track mind.

From his Twitter feeds to his blog on his personal Web site, Berto is getting his name out there. Well, now he’s getting his brand out as well.

Berto’s site launched his online store which will feature the WBC welterweight champion’s line of apparel. In a press release, Berto commented: “I worked hard to create items for both men and women that showcase the Andre Berto brand, and I know that my fans will love them. My fans have always been the driving force behind my success, and I can’t wait to see them in the stands in their official Andre Berto gear.”

This comes three weeks before Berto (25-0, 19 KOs) defends his title against Carlos Quintana (27-2, 21 KOs) at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise. The fight air live, April 10 on HBO. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Berto Dynasty Foundation Haiti Relief Fund, which benefits Project Medishare.
