Israel Adesanya Unveils Real Estate Business In New Zealand
Former UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, has unveiled a new property development in New Zealand.
According to a video shared on his official X handle on Friday, his father, Femi Adesanya, played a key role in the project.
His father, in a video of the housewarming, said “The idea is that after fighting, Israel needs to have something solid as investment.
“So, we decided that we were going to go for property development so that one, physically, he can see what he is putting together. And secondly, the investment can be protected.
“And with me there as the father, he’s got no better person to look after him than myself. A good boy that he is, he trusted me with my decisions and here we are.”
He further acknowledged the contributions of the project’s team, particularly Houston Architects in Auckland.
He added, “We look at the houses and say ‘Oh, they are beautiful.’ They wouldn’t have been beautiful but for the highly experienced team from Houston Architects in Auckland. They have been very dedicated to our cause. Everybody that took part in this project put in their best efforts.”
Israel, fondly called ‘The Last Stylebender’, also expressed gratitude for his father’s vision and leadership throughout the project.
The Nigerian-born fighter said, “This is my dad’s vision, not just for me but for the family. :Thank you all for everything you’ve done. The ups and downs, the smiles and frowns. Because I know a project like this isn’t easy.
“I want to say thank you to my dad, I just fund this, he is the guy that takes his time to actually be there day in, day out. In touch with everyone who’s part of the project.
“I come in once in a while and just have a little look-see and be like ‘This is actually growing. The progression is happening.’
“I just want to say thank you to my dad for making this happen and thank you to my mum for supporting him. One down, 50 more to go!”
