Ronaldo manhandled by Conor McGregor!

Cristiano Ronaldo attended the big boxing event organized in Riyadh on Saturday and social networks exploded seeing a very lively discussion between an unbearable Conor McGregor and a slightly uncomfortable Portuguese.

Before celebrating New Year’s Eve with family in Saudi Arabia and preparing for a huge clash between Al-Nassr and Karim Benzema’s Al-Ittihad next Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo was the star spectator of the Day of Reckoning boxing event organized in Riyadh . “CR7” was able to see the third career defeat of Deontay Wilder then the quick victory of Anthony Joshua (against the Swede Otto Wallin) during the main event of the evening.

But the 38-year-old Portuguese has especially delighted social networks. At least, he was a “victim” of a completely unbearable Conor McGregor when he came to greet Ronaldo in the front row before the fights. The Dubliner, a Manchester United supporter, knows the five-time Ballon d’Or well, but the latter, initially amused, appeared very disturbed by the gesticulations of the MMA idol.

The TNT Sports video has been viewed more than eight million times on X (formerly Twitter), the Cristiano Ronaldo-Conor McGregor exchange being the subject of thousands of comments and obviously many even (misappropriations).
