November 18, 2022 // Franchising.com // Santa Monica, CA - TITLE Boxing Club has signed the brand’s first international deal that will bring its presence to nine countries.
Making history is master franchise representative Hurst Kopp, a military veteran whose passion for boxing was founded during his time managing professional boxers and mixed martial artists. After graduating from Washington State University and later completing post graduate studies, Kopp spent time working in big tech before deciding he wanted to pursue an opportunity that combined his experience with his passion. This led him to a career within the boxing industry – and specifically to southeast Asia where a lot of boxing talent resided.
“Having worked in international business development for the last decade, I really understand how these countries perceive fitness,” said Kopp. “The relationships I’ve built during this time played a role in bringing this deal to life. I have also surveyed the landscape, and completed extensive research on these economies coupled with boots-on-the-ground-efforts to ensure TITLE Boxing Club was the right brand.”
The nine countries being added to TITLE Boxing Club’s roster are: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand.
“Currently, there are some concepts that allow you to punch some bags as a side workout – but it’s far from the true authentic boxing workout that is TITLE,” adds Kopp. “These countries are a few years behind the U.S. in terms of innovation, so the boom of studio concepts is just beginning.”
“This international deal allows us to bring authentic boxing fitness to the masses,” said Todd Wadler, CEO of TITLE Boxing Club and Co-Founder of BoxUnion. “We have made a lot of improvements to our system throughout the last 22 months, and this agreement is just one of the results to come out of our work.”
TITLE Boxing Club offers a workout designed to build your fitness, control your breathing, and clear your mind. With more than 130 clubs nationwide and a well-regarded digital subscription service, TITLE Boxing Club On Demand, members can work out anytime, anywhere.
