Cristiano Ronaldo has been in attendance at past boxing events in Riyadh

Cristiano Ronaldo is no stranger to being in attendance at massive boxing events in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as he has been to a few in the past year.

'CR7' was in attendance for the highly anticipated Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou bout last October. The event nearly saw an upset as the former UFC heavyweight champion knocked 'The Gypsy King' down, but still lost the decision.

Ronaldo was also in attendance last December at 'Day of Reckoning', which featured a double main event between Deontay Wilder vs. Joseph Parker and Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin.
