CANELO ALVAREZ has claimed to have Cristiano Ronaldo’s phone number.
The Mexican boxer revealed his contact with the former Manchester United star during an interview.
He was asked: “What is the most famous person’s contact you have?” to which he boasted: “Cristiano [Ronaldo].”
The 32-year-old is a four-division world champion and widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
He recently started beef with Ronaldo’s long-term rival Lionel Messi.
The Argentine angered the boxer during his celebrations following the World Cup victory over Mexico in Qatar.

During the game the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi grabbed a goal and an assist.
But it was the celebrations in the changing room that wound up the Mexican.
In a clip, a Mexico shirt can be seen on the floor near Messi, and as the Paris Saint-Germain star goes to take his boot off, his foot brushes the jersey – which boxer Canelo found disrespectful.
The Mexican said that Messi “better pray to God that I don’t find him”.

And he tweeted: “Did you guys see Messi cleaning the floor with our jersey and flag.
“He better pray to God that I don’t find him.
“Just like I respect Argentina, he has to respect Mexico!
“I’m not talking about the country as a whole, just about the bulls**t that Messi did.”
Ronaldo is currently playing his football in Saudi Arabia after signing a lucrative contract with Al-Nassr.
