Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Joshua Share Ringside Banter at Fury vs. Usyk Fight
Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Joshua engaged in friendly banter ringside at the highly-anticipated Fury vs. Usyk fight on Saturday night. The two sports icons were seen sharing a laugh and exchanging words as they enjoyed the undercard bout between Agit Kabayel and Frank Sanchez.
Ronaldo’s keen interest in boxing was evident as he sat next to former heavyweight champion Joshua, who has been on an impressive winning streak in his recent fights.
Notably, Ronaldo had previously been seated next to McGregor at a Saudi boxing event, where their interaction became a viral sensation. However, his ringside chat with Joshua seemed far more engaging and pleasant for the football star.
Joshua’s potential future opponents, including the winner of the Fury vs. Usyk fight, were no doubt on his mind as he took in the fight next to Ronaldo. The possibility of facing Fury in a high-stakes domestic showdown or seeking a rematch with Usyk added intrigue to Joshua’s presence at the event.
With both fighters holding unbeaten records, the outcome of the Fury vs. Usyk clash will determine the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world for the first time since Lennox Lewis held the title in 1999. Usyk currently holds the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts, while Fury is the WBC and lineal heavyweight champion, setting the stage for a monumental showdown.
