Norman was one of the many former brand ambassadors who sued the fitness franchise over payments that were promised with its 2021 public listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which he attended. Loading Last year football legend David Beckham and Norman were jointly suing F45 for $US20 million ($30 million) in damages in the US District Court of California seeking payment for their endorsements of the business. Most of the money was owed to Beckham, who settled with F45 in June this year.

His business DB Ventures Limited, released a statement at that time saying: “We are pleased to have settled this issue and to retain our investment in F45, and wish the team all the best for the future.”.
