On Saturday night at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia, Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by a split decision to clinch the undisputed world heavyweight championship. Many athletes and celebrities attended the mouth-watering bout, including Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr, and boxers Anthony Joshua and Ryan Garcia. During the event, English boxing promoter Frank Warren, who is an Arsenal fan, asked Ronaldo to give his verdict on the Premier League 2023-24 title race.
The 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the boxing match with his son Cristiano Jr. and was spotted sitting alongside Anthony Joshua. A video clip of Ronaldo and Joshua's conversation has gone viral on social media, where the five-time Ballon d'Or winner said, "My wife, she's half Spanish and Argentinian, and she's Latina."

Neymar Jr. followed Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps and joined him in the Saudi Pro League last year. However, the 32-year-old Brazilian only played five matches for his Saudi club Al-Hilal due to injuries.
Apart from them, the all-time leading goal-scorer in the world also met controversial boxer Ryan Garcia at the event. Garcia tested positive for a banned substance Ostarine after winning against Devin Haney in a lightweight boxing match at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last month. Earlier, Gracia met Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. during Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal's 1-1 draw on Friday.
