The Sports Metaverse has launched a real estate presale in its digital world and partnered with two-time UFC division champion Amanda Nunes to offer training in her metaverse gym.
In June, the Sports Metaverse will announce the first five brands to purchase space: Phat Fish Fantasy, Own the Moment, ThriveFantasy, Beyond The Game Network, and Press Sports. Nunes is developing her own digital gym where her 3D avatar will provide MMA training.

This is the latest venture from SportsIcon, a graduate of the 2021 Techstars Sports Accelerator that previously released a batch of NFTs that included interaction with and training lessons from pro athletes. The company’s executive team has experience at Sony, Doom, PlayStation Home, and Nvidia. It rasied a $5.5 million seed round with investments from Dapper Labs CEO Roham Gharegozlou, retired NBA player Andrew Bogut, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, and the rapper Nas. Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku partnered with SportsIcon last November.
