JOSE MOURINHO arrived for Anthony Joshua’s fight with Francis Ngannou to heavy fanfare – and flashed his personalised phone case.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United manager – without a club after being sacked by Roma – took a ringside seat in Riyadh.
And he did so to huge elevation from the crowd, drawing a smile from The Special One.
Mourinho was captured by SunSport taking in the action and filming from his front row spot.
And he revealed his personalised JM phone case while recording the fights.
Mourinho was dismissed by Roma in January and remains unemployed as he seeks his next move.

And Cristiano Ronaldo also had a ringside seat reserved for him too.
Ronaldo watched in October when Ngannou floored Tyson Fury on his debut only to lose a controversial split-decision.
He now takes to the boxing ring for only the second time while Joshua returns to Saudi for his third bout in the desert.

“So, I get a little bit of experience, but the mindset is still the same.
“This is just my second boxing match, even though I’m taking on the two best guys in the world in boxing, it’s still my second boxing match.
“I’m going out there to prove you can be an underdog and take it.”
Joshua, 34, meanwhile quipped: “I’ll deliver. I’m the postman.”
