Cristiano Ronaldo attends Fury vs. Usyk heavyweight title fight

Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned football star and highest-paid athlete globally, recently secured a ringside seat to witness the highly anticipated heavyweight boxing title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh. Unlike his previous experience sitting next to Conor McGregor, Ronaldo ensured to avoid any potential discomfort this time. The football star, currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, will be in the company of Anthony Joshua, a former two-time boxing world champion from Britain, at the unified world heavyweight title bout in Riyadh.

The clash between Fury and Usyk in Riyadh aims to determine the world's top heavyweight boxer, with Anthony Joshua closely observing after his recent victories. Ronaldo, a record-breaking goal-scorer aged 39, also scored for Al-Nassr in their recent match against Al-Hilal. Known for his presence at major boxing events in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo was notably captured ringside during Anthony Joshua's impressive win over Otto Wallin last year.

In a previous event, Ronaldo garnered attention for his reaction while seated next to McGregor, who was engaged in a heated exchange with a boxing official. However, McGregor is unlikely to attend the upcoming fight due to his UFC training commitments. Ronaldo might encounter his former teammate Wayne Rooney at the event.

Dubbed as the 'Ring of Fire', the upcoming fight will unify Fury's WBC heavyweight championship with Usyk's WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts. Usyk is recognized as one of the top pound-for-pound boxers globally.

The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo at the Fury vs. Usyk fight adds excitement and glamour to the already highly anticipated event. With the world's top heavyweight boxers competing for supremacy, the bout promises to be a spectacle for sports fans worldwide. Ronaldo's interest in boxing and his support for major events like this further showcase his diverse sporting passion beyond football.
