It is located at Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City beside SM Cubao. The mall was named in honor of boxer Muhammad Ali, and was built in 1976, making it one of the oldest malls in the country. Recently, they relaunched the new Cinemas and Food Court. History Construction on the mall began in 1975 after Muhammad Ali 's boxing victory against Joe Frazier in Araneta Coliseum, dubbed `` Thrilla in Manila ''. At the time there were no malls in the entire country, so Ali addressed a speech to the Philippines to build a shopping mall near the Araneta Center in honor of his victory, a shopping mall with a floor area of 62,000 sq. m. The shopping mall was completed within the year and was inaugurated on June 30, 1976. Ali himself attended the ceremony. In the 1980s, the mall has been undergoing expansions and renovations since its construction. In 2009, an expansion to Ali Mall was opened.
