10. The idea for TITLE Boxing Club was birthed by Danny Campbell – a former professional fighter, professional trainer, world-class referee, ring announcer for HBO, and promoter – after he grew tired of the boxing business, which he said was “seedy.” After leaving the industry, Campbell decided to pursue the general manager position at an LA Boxing facility in Littleton, Colorado.
11. Around 2008, Campbell moved home to the Kansas City area to open his own boxing club. Campbell partnered with Tom Lyons, David Hanson, and Tony Carbajo to start TITLE Boxing Club in the suburban neighborhood of Overland Park, Kansas. Their new business was named after Hanson and Carabajo’s other business, Title Boxing LLC, which is a kickboxing, boxing, and mixed martial arts (MMA) equipment company also headquartered in the Kansas City area.
12. The first TITLE Boxing Club location was a success and a second club opened later that year. In 2009, Campbell and his business partners opened their third TITLE Boxing Club and the success of these three locations led to franchising. TITLE Boxing Clubs opened in other suburban areas in Kansas and eventually spread to other states, including Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, and Texas. TITLE Boxing Club has continued to expand and now has a presence across the United States.
