Who will Cristiano Ronaldo sit on in the Fury vs Usyk match? Not McGregor

The world’s highest-paid athlete, Cristiano Ronaldo, took a front-row seat to watch the Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk heavyweight title fight and made sure he never relives the pain of sitting next to big-mouthed former mixed martial arts legend Conor McGregor. at a similar event last year.

This time Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for the Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, will mingle with Anthony Joshua, the two-time former world boxing champion from Britain, while enjoying a unifying world heavyweight title fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from ringside. seat.

Fury and Usyk are set to clash in Riyadh to determine the world’s top heavyweight boxer, with the highly ambitious Anthony Joshua watching very closely after securing victories in his last four bouts.

Record goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo, 39, also struck the ball last night to seal a 1-1 draw for Al-Nasr against Saudi Arabia Pro League champions Al-Hilal.

The iconic Manchester United and Real Madrid star has often been seen ringside at major boxing events in Saudi Arabia, including Anthony Joshua’s shock victory over Otto Wallin last December.

During this fight, Ronaldo went viral in a rather amusing way as he looked petrified sitting next to a mighty McGregor, a UFC legend.

All cameras zoomed in on the two sports superstars catching McGregor attacking a Saudi boxing official about old rival Manny Pacquiao, while Ronaldo sat there like a lamb between two roaring lions.

Fortunately, Al Nassr’s striker won’t have to face the badass Irishman this time around, as McGregor is highly unlikely to be there due to his intense training for his return to the UFC Octagon to face Michael Chandler in June.

However, Ronaldo may meet former team-mate and leading critic Wayne Rooney, the ex-Manchester United player.

Dubbed the ‘Ring of Fire’, Saturday’s fight will unite Fury’s WBC heavyweight championship with the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts held by Usyk, one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.
