Who are 1909 Heritage
1909 is a boxing inspired luxury streetwear brand that is based on promoting the heritage of Boxing News, which was founded in 1909. It is headed up by Myles Jordan, a young creative designer who has showed great entrepreneurial spirit in his past ventures and has fully immersed himself into the 1909 brand.
Why we partnered
We created 1909 to not only add another revenue stream for Boxing News, but to promote and grow the Boxing News audience amongst younger people.
Boxing is one of the fastest growing sports globally, so we saw an opportunity to use the heritage and outreach of Boxing News in the boxing world to create a luxury streetwear brand that will be attractive to those heavily ingrained in boxing, to the fashion enthusiasts.
What we helped with
KHI have been fully immersed in the creation of 1909. We have provided the capital to support the business and have also been hands on in day-to-day operations of the business. Since we see the success of 1909 also being a great boost to Boxing news, it is something that we have all taken a keen interest in providing as much support as possible.
As someone who has been so captivated by sports and fashion my whole life, I see 1909 as the perfect brand that merges both and will allow me to reach my full potential as a creative and entrepreneur.

Future Plans
1909 plans to be the number one boxing clothing company, by showing our quality without compromise. The mission is to marry the grit and determination of the sweet science with the sophistication of luxury streetwear.
