Sports at The Gentleman’s Expo
While visiting the Gentleman’s Expo this weekend, sports fans had several opportunities at different things that would appeal to any guy, and even some of the women in the crowd.
Saturday and Sunday saw a special guest doing Q&A and photo opportunities. UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jon “Bones” Jones, fresh off his title retaining victory last week at UFC 167 was at the expo to the delight of many of his fans. His Light Heavyweight Belt was present making the photos that much more special for his fans. Adding to the excitement of Jon Jones at the Gentleman’s Expo was the fact that an amateur fighter stood up to challenge him publicly. Thankfully nothing came to blows, but the crowd certainly got involved.
Beyond the physical presence of sports celebrities was the amazing collection from Authentic Collectables out of Unionville. From signed jerseys spanning every type of sport to autographed pictures of most major sports stars to even having a replica TNA Championship belt signed by the Immortal Hulk Hogan himself. This collection was enough to get any sports fan drooling and one can only imagine the selection that would be available in-store. Every item also came with a certificate of authenticity so people knew that everything was legitimate and that their favourite sports star had actually touched that item. www.authenticcollectables.com.
