The greatest Polish heavyweight boxer in history, Andrew Golota, arrived in Chengdu, China, on Tuesday at 12:30 a.m. and notified his team when he awakened from a brief sleep, “I want to go see the Great Panda Bears.”
He and three members of his team arrived at the nearby Great Panda Research Base in the early afternoon where he advised park officials that he wanted to meet Shan Ping, the rare one-year-old Great Panda Bear his promoter Don King was allowed to hold during an official visit in August.
Golota is in China to face Ray Austin in the main event of the first world championship boxing card ever staged in Chengdu at Sichuan Gymnasium on Friday, Nov. 7.
