George Q Horowitz, chairman and CEO of Everlast Worldwide Inc., said, “As a result of this agreement, the Everlast brand has taken a giant step forward in its international expansion program as we will now be in 101 countries. Our licensing program continues to gather momentum due to the increased consumer awareness generated by our involvement with NBC's 'The Contender' reality-based television series as well as the appreciation for the uniquely American character of the Everlast brand. In addition, through this agreement Everlast is now in a position to offer an extensive array of products almost identical to those currently available in the U.S. We will continue to explore additional international opportunities for new licensing agreements.”
