BOARDMAN, Ohio - One of the greatest boxers is extending his boxing and fitness gym chain into the Mahoning Valley.

Floyd Mayweather launched the gym franchise in 2018 in California, and more than 100 franchises are currently in development.

According to Mayweather Boxing & Fitness gym's Boardman President and CEO Jason Franklin, his application was chosen over 6,000 others.

The gym features group workouts based on Mayweather's programs and workouts. There is also a virtual reality component that allows members to train with him.

The 50-0 boxer is expecting to have 500 worldwide locations within the next five years.

The Boardman location is slated for a grand opening in late winter or early spring, with presale memberships beginning on November 29th at their location.

Memberships will go on presale on November 29th. The two kits include the $99 regular kit and the $149 essential kit equipped with boxing gear. After the initial purchase, gym-goers will continue to pay $99 a month.
