The big man’s slapped his name all over this spring’s biggest sporting event (aside from the Cheltenham Festival, of course).
The Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup is set to land in the West Midlands as Birmingham, Coventry, Walsall and Wolverhampton open their doors.
What do you mean you’ve ‘never heard of it’?
Well, Kabaddi is the ultimate test of endurance and skill, with plenty of shouting thrown into the mix, and it promises to be a cracking tournament.
If Paddy’s excited then you better well be!
