1Turki Alalshikh sat among the two sporting celebrities at ring side. Joshua, 34, arrived in a white shirt and matching trousers and keeps a watchful eye on the action, potentially confronting the winner in the next year.
And the two-time world champion was in good company at ringside, chatting with another renowned athlete, Ronaldo, with Turki Alalshikh, president of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, sitting next to them.
The 39-year-old Ronaldo, who scored yesterday night to help Al-Nassr draw 1-1 with Saudi Pro League winners Al-Hilal, stole the show with his cream Gucci attire and amazing timepiece, coming in his £400,000 Ferrari.
The blingy Franck Muller watch, complete with 424 dazzling white diamonds, gleamed on CR7’s wrist as he watched the action. He had previously been sighted wearing a £100,000 Jacob and Company limited edition H24 with a total diamond weight of 15.25 carats.
The Manchester United and Real Madrid icon has been a regular at ringside for some of Saudi Arabia’s greatest fights, including Joshua’s drаmаtic knockout victory over Otto Wallin in December.
However, Ronaldo became viral in a humorous way when he appeared “terrifieԀ” while sitting next to animated UFC icon Conor McGregor.
The cameras moved to the pair just as McGregor was ranting at a Saudi boxing boss about old adversary Manny Pacquiao, while Ronaldo sat between the two, looking sheepish.Fortunately for the Portuguese ace, the Irishman is not scheduled to come this time because he is presently training for his UFC homecoming against Michael Chandler next month.
However, he may have to face his former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney.The Red Devils’ all-time leading scorer is a great boxing enthusiast, and he announced earlier this year that he had spoken with Misfits Boxing about perhaps having his own figҺt.
Tensions in Riyadh have been rising all week before of today’s blockbuster.Fury refused to even look at competitor Usyk during the pre-figҺt press conference before forcefully confronting him at the weigh-in.
Usyk’s team added to the exciting build-up by filing a protest alleging that areas of the Riyadh ring canvas could be a trip hazard.
But it was the WBC champion’s father, John Fury, who made headlines by shockingly HEADBUTTING Stanislav Stepchuk, a member of the Usyk camp, on Monday..

Inside the Gypsy King’s royal court
Tyson Fury is one of the most well-known figures in sports.
The two-time heavyweight champion does not pull punches and prefers to let his fists and voice speak for themselves.
Fury has seven children with wife Paris and recently hinted that another is on the way.
Season two of At Home With The Furys is slated to premiere on Netflix, bringing their family life back to the screen.
Tommy, the star of Love Island, has an elder brother named The Gypsy King.
He is preparing for a £200 million figҺt with arch rival Anthony Joshua and is on course to become boxing’s first billionaire.
Venezuela, on the other hand, has poked fun at her father’s bargain-hunting tendencies.
Despite his gigantic automotive collection, he can often be seen driving around town in a VERY humble vehicle.
Fury has spoken out about his mentаl health difficulties and revealed the diet that has enabled him to achieve such spectacular physique transformations.
In addition to his figҺting abilities, the Morecambe mauler is known for serenading fans in the ring and wearing fantastic bespoke figҺt-week costumes that are occasionally tongue-in-cheek.
