Cristiano Ronaldo boxer? The crazy reconversion

Cristiano Ronaldo was present at the champions gala in Riyadh before the wickedest fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.

The Portuguese superstar pretended to punch the boxing legend as they stood together at the Gala for a group photo. The boxer also played into Ronaldo’s hands by pretending to stumble after the punch.

This Saturday night’s “Battle Of The Baddest” in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is special in more ways than one: two distinct locations, a newly designed belt on the line, and an impressive guest list featuring some of the most big names in the world of sport. Given that Fury is the current undefeated WBC world heavyweight champion and Ngannou is a former UFC star making his professional debut, the fight was derided by some members of the boxing fraternity. However, Ronaldo was keen to show his support for the Briton.

Ronaldo will be in action for Al-Nassr when they take on Al Feiha in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday, October 28.
