Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed a prime spot at Saturday night’s highly anticipated world heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh. Seated beside former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, the ex-Manchester United player appeared to have a great time, sharing several photos from the event on social media.
A video of the 39-year-old arriving at the fight also made rounds on social media, where he was asked about his prediction for the match. “I don’t know,” Ronaldo responded, adding, “I’m supporting the sport.”
Ronaldo and the packed crowd at the Kingdom Arena witnessed an incredible bout that lasted the full 12 rounds. Usyk emerged victorious with a split-decision, becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion to hold four belts in the sport’s history.
Now, it’s back to business for Cristiano Ronaldo, whose Al-Nassr team has their second-to-last match of the season on Thursday against Al-Riyadh. Although Al-Nassr is guaranteed a second-place finish in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo, currently the league’s top scorer, will undoubtedly aim to finish the season strong ahead of Portugal’s Euro 2024 campaign this summer.
