Knox Jolie-Pitt is proving that sports remain one of his biggest passions. The 17-year-old son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was recently photographed during an outdoor training session in Los Angeles, California, where he appeared focused and determined while running alongside a group of athletes.

For the workout, Knox opted for a casual athletic look, pairing running shoes and sports shorts with a black T-shirt featuring legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.

His Muhammad Ali T-shirt also seems fitting given his athletic interests. Widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, Ali's legacy extends far beyond the ring, symbolizing discipline, perseverance, and determination, qualities that Knox appeared to embody during his latest training session.

Although he largely stays out of the spotlight compared to many celebrity children, Knox continues to carve out his own identity through sports, showing that his interests may lie less in Hollywood and more in the world of athletic competition.
