Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in style at Oleksandr Usyk’s historic victory over Tyson Fury on Saturday evening.
The football superstar, who plays for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, stood front and center among the ringside crowd in Riyadh and sat next to Anthony Joshua as the duo looked on.
Ronaldo, a regular at major fights in the country, arrived early and chatted with the likes of Neymar and Joshua as he soaked up the atmosphere at the Kingdom Arena ahead of the fight.
Footage shared by TNT Sports showed the 39-year-old arriving at the Arena as he stepped out of his car with two of his sons before he and his family received their accreditation for the event.
As he entered the building, he was greeted by Saudi officials as he continued to embrace what welcomed him since he joined Al-Nassr in December 2022.

Ronaldo was mobbed by the press as he was led to his seat but refused to say anything as he smiled ahead of the event.
He walked all the way to ringside before sitting next to Joshua and was met with loud cheers as he entered the arena.
Before the main event kicked off, the 39-year-old was approached by former rival and fellow football superstar Neymar, and the two had a brief conversation before embracing.
However, Saturday’s embrace was amicable and the duo appeared to share a joke before Neymar, a two-time teammate of Ronaldo’s biggest rival, Lionel Messi, went to his seat.
