19 October, Dubai – Ten-time world champion boxer Manny Pacquiao will visit
Dubai to open the eagerly-anticipated new GO Sport megastore at Mall of the
Emirates, the sports retailer has confirmed.
The
store, which will feature dedicated sports zones alongside a 10-metre
volcano-shaped climbing unit, will be visited by the boxing superstar on 5
November 2015, and fans are being told to keep a close eye on GO Sport social
media pages for information on the chance to meet the world champion.
Pacquiao,
36, has enjoyed a glittering 20-year career in the ring, defeating the likes
of Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya on his way to being crowned ‘Fighter of
the Decade’ by the Boxing Writers Association of America, the World Boxing
Council, and the World Boxing Organisation in 2011.
Since
then, Pacquiao has participated in basketball, business, acting, music, and
politics. Earlier this month he made the headlines when he announced he would
run for a seat in the Senate in his native Philippines.
Meanwhile,
the professional boxer’s appearance at the GO Sport opening follows confirmation
that the new store, which is located on the new third floor at Mall of the
Emirates, is the brand’s largest in the world.
