Who could forget golf great Tiger Woods teeing off in 2004 ahead of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic? Or Roger Federer and Andre Agassi taking tennis to new heights in 2005 to promote the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships? The helipad also hosted then-Formula One champions Red Bull Racing in 2013, with driver David Coulthard performing a series of donuts in the car. Now it's the turn of boxing superstar Anthony Joshua, who as part of a Visit Dubai promotion, climbed through the ropes of a ring set up on the helipad to take part in a training session. Joshua, the IBF, IBO and WBA heavyweight world champion, has been in Dubai to promote the Dubai Fitness Challenge.
